If I had to choose a single statement that best describes my generation, it would be that one found in Romans 3:18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes." Every man truly seems to be doing that which is right in his own eyes without the slightest regard for God's word or judgement. All men seem to be as Nabal in I Samuel 25:36, laughing, drinking and partying on their way to hell as the wrath of their Maker hangs over their head by a spider's web. Children are allowed to grow up in their unchecked rebellion without even being taught natural respect for their mom and dad, much less for God Almighty.

Today's so-called preachers are no help, but are rather the main problem. Honestly now, who would fear the "grandpa" god who is described in the sentimental sermonettes of free-will religion? People are being told that Christ died for everyone and that God loves them and is trying to save them, and of course they readily believe this nonsense.

God asks this question of proud, foolish man who curses Him with the very breath He gave him. It is asked as a warning. You'd better think twice about your flippant, gum-popping attitude toward your Creator. He is not amused by your rebellion; He will wipe you out for your arrogant disregard for His holy law. Will you still be clinging to your "Trying, but can't; wants to if you'll let him; loves and died for everybody" false christ when the flames of God's eternal hell begin to wrap themselves around you and the darkness of His utter absence swallows you up? Will you tread His only Son's precious blood under your filthy feet and despise His mercy? Your punishment will be horrible, eternal and richly deserved.

May He in sovereign grace give us a Godly fear toward Him Who sitteth upon the throne. Like John on Patmos we shall fall on our faces before Him as dead. Only then will He say to us as He did there, "Fear not, I am the First and the Last." What men need is a revelation of Him.
