Celebrating Evil
Cue Bill Gates because he is now warning about a future water bankruptcy that he says will kill billions of people if the UN doesn’t get control and oversee the management of water globally. Does he really believe we buy into a water shortage and that he is actually concerned about billions of people dying? If you have a home that uses a water meter, you are already charged based on water usage. Could you then be fined if it is deemed you use too much? Could the city also simply turn off your water? The UN says they are concerned that certain groups (indigenous, women, children, third worlders), are not getting their fair share of water so control needs to be taken of all the earth’s waters in order that it can be disseminated “fairly.”

Who Knew Data Centers are Actually Good??
In the article, Erickson further notes that data centers bring in tons of jobs to the local economy. Electricians, plumbers, construction workers and the rest are all needed to build the data centers. He also downplays the noise (or constant humming drone) of a completed and working data center, as though they really don’t have annoying noise that keeps people awake at night.
One other huge thing I noticed is that he provides absolutely no linked facts for any of his statements. He simply presents what really is his opinion on data centers. He does so with authority as though he presents tremendous facts and linkable data to back up his claims. He doesn’t.
Making Life Difficult for Us
…whatever is happening throughout global society now is simply foundational for the coming final mandate that forces people to take the mark. Age verification, if it comes to the USA will make things difficult for those who don’t comply, just like the mandates during CV created severe limitations for those who did not take the jab. However, like the difficulties during CV, anything mandated or instituted for our “safety” ultimately means making life more difficult, not easier. It means seceding control to authoritarian bodies.
Wilding and Increased Criminality
But what of the wilding mentioned in the previously noted article by Sam Faddis that occurred in 532 AD compared to the teen takeovers that are happening now? How’d that begin to occur? Simply put, while yes, society has degraded to such a level that we are seeing Romans 1 occurring right before our eyes, I believe there are two main reasons for these wilding situations.
Death of Society
The biggest problem with social media is what it has become, not what it started out as. Everyone is so brave when they are talking into their phones or computers and it is impossible to know who would be likely to carry through with their threats. In a recent situation, Cole Tomas Allen brought guns and knives to the recent White House correspondent’s dinner in an attempt to assassinate President Trump.
Putting Off and Putting On
I believe it is the put off/put on principle that truly transforms the life of the Christian. While many choose not to put in the effort to create new habits and patterns (and some want to but aren’t clear on how), it is incumbent upon us to understand that this is absolutely part of our sanctification process. We must take it seriously and while we do not do this to “earn” our salvation (since salvation cannot be earned, but it is a completely free gift), this process is a must in order to grow in Christ our Redeemer.
Feelings Will Follow
We are responsible to “put off” and “put on” with the help of the Spirit within us. We must make the active decision here. Tim notes that when we angrily react to something, we are not using faith at all. We are simply being pushed by our feelings. If we consider the state of much of society, we see large portions of the population devoid of self-control. They simply react to whatever circumstance they encounter, usually in anger. Reacting like this is not loving.
Misplaced Zeal: Understanding Today’s Moral Confusion
God had decreed that King Nebuchadnezzar would reign and any nation that did not willingly come under his rule would be punished “with the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.” This message also summarized the content of chapters 7-10.
If the Judahites continued to reject the LORD, and disobey the Mosaic Covenant, He would destroy the temple and Jerusalem completely. The temple would suffer complete destruction, and Jerusalem would become a curse, namely, an object of ridicule and an example of horrible suffering.
Jeremiah also warned the people about the false prophets and told them not to listen to them. Theses prophets were lying by saying the people of Judah would not serve Babylon. It’s what many wanted to hear (including the king), but it was not the truth.
Arrogance of the Misled: A Cautionary Tale
Romans 1 spells this out so clearly and I know I’ve referred to this section of Scripture previously, but it bears repeating. The people we see on the streets (or in churches), creating mayhem stemming from their anarchist beliefs are demonically deluded. They have come to believe what they currently believe because of their continued rejection of actual truth. So this didn’t just happen to them. They caused it by their continual rejection of the truth.

Reacting to the Weather of Our Lives
Here’s insight that may help. Your love for God and other people will grow to the degree that you understand what you have been saved from. The more we gain understanding and enlightenment on just what God has saved us from, the greater our love and our devotion to God will become. This is what grows our love for Him, resulting in a true desire to be more obedient to Him in all things. This then, in turn, causes us to be greater evangelists for God, presenting the Gospel to people we come in contact with throughout the day. Why? Because of our increasing love for God and them.
