Help, Lord, for the godly are no more; the faithful have vanished from among men. The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men (Ps. 12:1, 8). The most endangered species on earth today are godly men and women – people who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, love Him, and walk compromisingly in His ways. Everyone faces the temptation of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life. However, it is in seeking God’s guidance and strength that we can overcome these challenges. The lack of godly men is creating a vacuum that is being filled by the wicked – people who have rejected God’s ways and honor what is vile among men. Any godly person who will not conform to ungodliness faces opposition and even persecution because evil reigns. Will it get better? No! It will only get worse until the Lord raptures the remnant from the claws of the evil one. If you are not experiencing tremendous pushback from the culture as a godly person, then you are either compromised or completely disengaged from the culture. We are the light of the world.
