The World At Large
It is sad beyond words to see a world that has hardened its heart to such an extent that NOTHING, NO TRAGEDY, NO VIOLENCE, NO DEBAUCHERY can shake it from its false hopes and self orientation.
Individuals
Likewise, it is unspeakably sad to watch individuals, friends, loved ones and family harden their hearts to the message of God, to the warnings of God, to the judgments of God and continue in their self deception and self lordship, ignoring and explaining away Scripture, counsel, preaching.
Take A Hint
Resistance to God does not lead to a better place or a better situation.
It is a story as old as man, even older.
PUFFED UP PEOPLE DO THAT WHICH IS RIGHT IN THEIR OWN EYES, and their attitude says, GOD CAN GO TAKE A FLYING LEAP.
Evidence
How do I know this is true? Because people would be transformed into the likeness and image of Christ and love would reign in their lives and the world would be stunned by the power of God in them.
Proverbs 29:1-2
(1) He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
(2) When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
