Subtle and Understated

It's far more than evil in the news that shocks us, we measure our sin against them.

Earthquakes, fires, and natural disasters, we've been warned. 

Perhaps, its the deception of subtle and understated sins. 

   Subtle ...

        Understated ... 

              It was never the plan or even the intention ...

                     But look where we are ...


Perhaps the greatest deception of sin is the rationalization to justify our actions.

Lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud/pride, abusive, ungrateful, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, conceited, lovers of pleasure ... empty.

Imagine being unhappily caught up in this. Fleeting moments of satisfaction and a smile, but the satisfaction doesn't last. It never does.

God is missing, happiness is missing, love is missing.

You cannot change anything yesterday and years before, but you can turn that slow moving ship today and ultimately your future by making a conscious effort to change what you know needs to be changed in your life.

There will be terrible times in the last days ... 2 Timothy 3:1-4
