I have experienced on a small and personal scale what Jesus said would be a prevalent characteristic of the last days. Sin was rampant and unchecked in my childhood and youth and love was not only cold but meaningless. That is why I am so angry about the direction some of my peers are trying to take Christianity and so disappointed in many leaders of the Church who prefer to cow tow to every uncomfortable issue rather than stand firm and fast against those issues that are clearly repudiated by Scripture. It does not help. It denies the only hope that those who are entrapped and enslaved by sin have.
Truth is the only doorway out.
Instead people who are similar circumstances as those I earlier described are being lied to under the guise of tolerance. It is anything but love. Love is not blanket and thoughtless acceptance. It is not an act of love to give a wino enough money to buy a cheap bottle of wine just because he asks you to with a quiver in his voice and a tear in his eye. It is just as thoughtless and wrong for the Church to endorse homosexuality by calling it an orientation just because homosexuals are demanding recognition.
