Title: 'The Days of Noah: Understanding Lawlessness and Violence in Our World'

As we navigate the complexities of our world today, it's hard not to notice the increasing levels of lawlessness and violence that seem to be escalating by the day. In Genesis 6, we're told that this was a common phenomenon during the time of Noah, where humanity had become so wicked that God ultimately decided to send a flood to destroy the earth.

Jesus himself referenced these days in Matthew 24:37, saying 'But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.' This verse serves as a powerful reminder that what we're experiencing today is not unique to our time period. In fact, it's a pattern that has been repeated throughout history.

The events of recent months have been particularly disturbing, with riots and protests erupting across the globe in response to racial division and violence. As Christians, it's natural to feel overwhelmed by these developments, but it's essential to remember that we're not surprised by any of this happening. After all, as Pastor Jack Hibbs notes, 'we're living in a world where God's Word says that lawlessness will increase before the end comes.'

The murder of George Floyd on May 25th was a pivotal moment for many people, and it sparked a firestorm of emotions across our nation. As believers, we must respond to these situations with compassion and empathy, while also recognizing the biblical principles that guide us.

Pastor Don Stewart reminds us that 'the Bible has the answer to all issues near and far, small and great.' In times like these, it's crucial that we turn to God's Word for guidance and direction. As John Adams and John Hancock once said, 'No King but Jesus' – a truth that remains as relevant today as it was when first spoken.

In Revelation 5:6-10, we're reminded of the ultimate victory that awaits us, where we'll reign on earth alongside our Lord Jesus Christ. This vision should give us hope and motivation to share the good news with others, regardless of their ethnicity or background.

As representatives of the Kingdom of God, Pastor Jack Hibbs and I are committed to spreading God's Word in culture, and applying its principles to the issues we face today. Whether it's lawlessness, violence, or any other challenge, our hope is that you'll join us on this journey as we seek to represent the Lord Jesus Christ in all we do.
