THE SPIRIT OF OFFENSE HAS COME…..
PART 1 DOMINION CHRISTIAN CENTER
JULY 17, 2015
All these are the beginning of
sorrows. Then shall they deliver
you up to be afflicted, and shall
kill you: and ye shall be hated of
all nations for my name's sake.
And then shall many be
offended, and shall betray one
another, and shall hate one
another. And many false
prophets shall rise, and shall
deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many
shall wax cold.
Matthew 24:8-12
THEY WERE ALL OFFENDED!
Matthew 24:8-12Amplified Bible (AMP)
8 All this is but the beginning [the early pains]
of the birth pangs [of the intolerable anguish].
9 Then they will hand you over to suffer
affliction and tribulation and put you to death,
and you will be hated by all nations for My
name’s sake.
10 And then many will be offended and
repelled and will begin to distrust and
desert, Him Whom they ought to trust
and obey, and will stumble and fall
away and betray one another and
pursue one another with hatred.
11 And many false prophets will rise
up and deceive and lead many into
error. 12 And the love of the great
body of people will grow cold
because of the multiplied
lawlessness and iniquity,
BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE OF WICKEDNESS,
THE LOVE OF MOST WILL GROW COLD.
[MATTHEW 24:12]
Rejection of God's Word
Because man has rejected God's Word, he has been given over to a reprobate mind that seeks self-gratification over
responsibility to others.
The word “antinomianism” comes from two Greek words, anti,
meaning "against"; and nomos, meaning "law." Antinomianism
means “against the law.”
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful
desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for
the degrading of their bodies with one
another. They exchanged the truth of God for a
lie, and worshiped and served created things
rather than the Creator--who is forever
praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to
shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged
natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same
way the men also abandoned natural relations
with women and were inflamed with lust for
one another. Men committed indecent acts with
other men, and received in themselves the due
penalty for their perversion.
Furthermore, since they did not think it
worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he
gave them over to a depraved mind, to do
what ought not to be done. They have become
filled with every kind of wickedness, evil,
greed and depravity. They are full of envy,
murder, strife, deceit and malice.
They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing
evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such
things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who
practice them.
Romans 1:24-32
2 PETER 2:19 WHILE THEY PROMISE THEM
LIBERTY, THEY THEMSELVES ARE THE SERVANTS OF CORRUPTION: FOR OF WHOM A MAN IS OVERCOME, OF THE SAME IS HE BROUGHT IN
BONDAGE.
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of
money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their
parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love,
unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal,
not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God--
having a form of godliness but denying its power.
2 Timothy 3:2-5
The Apostle Paul said that in the last days
man would be "brutal." The Greek,
'anemeros' literally means "untamed,
savage, or brutal." He also said that the last
days man would be not be lovers of the
good - possibly better translated as "haters
of the good."
“The amount of deviant behavior in American
society has increased beyond the levels the
community can 'afford to recognize' and that,
accordingly, we have been re-defining deviancy so
as to except much conduct previously stigmatized,
and also quietly raising the 'normal' level in
categories where behavior is now abnormal by any
earlier standard."
"While the severity of actions range from simple cheating at school to pushing drugs, to cold-
blooded murders, the depth of the problem has reached a point where common decency can no longer be described as common. Somewhere,
somehow, the traditional value system got disconnected for a disturbing number of America's
next generation."
THE CHURCH CANNOT HELP THE WORLD BECAUSE WE ARE A
DIVORCED FAITH. THE CHURCH IS MORE
DIVIDED THAN OUR NATION.
IF YOU CAN’T TRUST GOD’S WORD TO LEAD YOUR LIFE, TO DIRECT YOUR LIFE, TO SUSTAIN YOUR LIFE, THEN DON’T PICK
OUT JOHN 3:16 TO SAVE YOUR LIFE.
