What? You think these things just happen because we live in a fallen world? That it has no connection to the wickedness, violence, and iniquity that we as a people drink down to the dregs. Our culture LOVES sin, free sex with no consequences and the willingness to ruthlessly murder millions of innocent children for the sake of convenience and lust. We love violence and death, we can't get enough gore and blood in our movies, TV shows, and video games. We celebrate homosexuality with parades in every major city that are filled with the sickest pervesions, and churches going with along with it by "marrying" them.
Shall I not punish them for these things? ’ says the Lord . ‘Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?’
Jeremiah 5:29 NKJV
We are given over to alcoholism and drug use, and rather than stop it, we legalize more and more because we love money more than our children. Even what Christianity we do have as a whole is largely overrun with idolatry. Our politicians are corrupt, our ministers are self seeking smooth talking dreamers, and nobody is bothered by any of it.
“An astonishing and horrible thing Has been committed in the land: The prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests rule by their own power; And My people love to have it so. But what will you do in the end?"
Jeremiah 5:30..-31
When these things happen, we ARE reaping what we sow by allowing our children to witness 50,000 simulated murders through entertainment by age 18. We are reaping what we sow by father's not leading their children in the home through prayer, the reading of scripture, and godly parenting. We are reaping what we sow by neglecting taking our families to church while we play golf, watch football, or simply do nothing on Sunday, while little Johnny loops death metal on his iPod for hours on end in his room. We are reaping what we sow by being self absorbed. Why should your kid care about anyone else when they've never seen their parents help someone, feed someone, or sacrifice time or goods for another? We reap what we sow by loving sin.
And if you say in your heart, “Why have these things come upon me?” For the greatness of your iniquity Your skirts have been uncovered, Your heels made bare.
Jeremiah 13:22 NKJV
Why do you cry about your affliction? Your sorrow is incurable. Because of the multitude of your iniquities, Because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.
Jeremiah 30:15 NKJV
