“It had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them” (2 Peter 2:21).
As I write this in December, 2021, a note on the internet caught my attention. It said that when people in the U.S.A. are asked what religion they are, more and more of them are saying, “None.” According to one survey, this group now comprises nearly 30% of American adults.
One college student, a girl who used to attend an evangelical Christian “church,” left it three years ago. (Obviously she was never truly saved.) She identified as atheist, then agnostic, before embracing what she calls “a spiritual but not religious life.” In her dorm, she blends rituals at an altar, chanting Buddhist, Taoist and Hindu mantras and paying homage to her ancestors as she meditates and prays.
We are living in the last days, and the Lord has said that this would happen. How important it is to cling to the Word of God, and to those things that never change. God’s Word will abide forever, and it will keep us from this confused and Satanic thinking.
