Dr. Couch, it seems without a doubt our culture is lost. You have given
so many verses that show how America is like what was happening in the
OT with Judah. Do you have others?
I could give hundreds but my eyes yesterday fell on Ezekiel 16:44-50.
Judah was into deep sexual sins (“Sodom is your sister,” v. 48), living
in arrogance, having plenty to eat, carelessly at ease” (v. 49). They
were unafraid of God, haughty, “and committed abominations before [the
Lord]” (v. 50), i.e. they did not care what He thought of their sins,
and they had no fear of consequences. And when they sinned they no
longer knew how to blush with conviction (Jer. 6:15; 8:12).
I did not see it but someone told me about a 60 Minute documentary
examining the attitudes of a younger generation born between 1980 and
1992. They are self-serving, spoiled, want their job at work to fit
their own schedule, and do not know how to take directions. Companies
are training their leaders how to deal with this new generation. (They
cannot be criticized directly or they will bolt!) Wait until they get
into power and let their immorality all hang out! We will really be
doomed as a nation! Even mothers have been known to call up companies
and say something like: “You gave my junior a lower score than he
deserved on his job evaluation!” Poor baby!
We are coming into the apostasy! When Paul writes about it he says
“in the last days difficult times will come, for men will be lovers of
self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to
parents, ungrateful, unholy …” (2 Tim. 3:1-2).
Thanks for asking.
Dr. Mal Couch
