With no brightness

"Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it" (Amos 5:20 NKJV)? We cry out in the midst of adversities, in the days of darkness, and as wickedness covers the world. The land is barren and desolate for there are very few laborers working in the fields. The theme of today is every man for himself. Many ask themselves, "What can I get for myself?". Selfishness and self prosperity has flooded the land, blinding many with false delusions and empty promises. These are the days the prophets spoke about. These are the days we heard about. These are the days when people become lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God. These are the days when false teaching rapidly floods the church house, professing a relationship with our Savior. Many hold a "form of godliness, but deny the power thereof". These days are as the days of Noah. People are buying, selling, trading, giving themselves in marriage, drinking, and eating. Men have become wicked in their imaginations and their hearts, which can never be satisfied by the lust that they so desire. Darkness is not going away any time soon, and we don't have to become a lost people, bound and blinded by it either. Run to the light that is only found in Christ Jesus. Run from every spirit that does not profess Christ and the cross as the only way to salvation. Run from the lusts of the flesh and self righteousness. Grab the horns of the altar and cry out to God, our Creator. God bless you. Amen
