Why matters in life, culture, and society deteriorate so quickly and the way they do is disappointing but not surprising. Ultimately God is the sovereign authority and man, whom He created to be in a personal and unique relationship with Him, is in rebellion against Him. The One to be honored and obeyed is the One who is dishonored and disobeyed because of the nature of sin and its author, the devil himself. God's plans and purposes will not be hindered, thwarted or denied as He continues to demonstrate His willingness and patience to continue His offer of forgiveness and new life. God in His sovereignty brings in various ways, various degrees, and in times of His choosing, the consequences of rebellion against Him to bear on the rebellious. Those who are His children come under His care and protection, never out of His sight nor mind. The darker the tenor of the times we live the brighter will shine the light of Christ through those who are His followers. The darkness of sin and death has been defeated by Christ's death and resurrection so the victory is certain as each believer must live out their life, where they are, as His light by faith, not by sight, by fear, or by feelings. The faithful follow in the triumph of Christ.
