Yes, it's even in the church today. We live in a day and age where it's rather hard to distinguish between the church and the world!
Churches are practicing unbiblical matters and yet claim to glorify God through these things.
What deception!
The "people of God" have gotten out of the book in this century, although it has been happening since the church began.
But, Peter said that scoffers will come in the last days... they're here. Do the math.
Paul warns Timothy about perilous times and perilous men... in the church! We're in those days!
Corrupt things have crept in, what we call these days, the church. Jesus strictly warns of corruption in the household of faith!
Hold up, let's make sure the majority is covered..
Foreign doctrines and practices that are ungodly and against the Holy Writ of God!
Our generation of men and women of God needs to be a standing generation, not just a dancing generation!
We must rise up to the upward call of God and Apostolic Ministry in these days of deception. We must be firmly grounded in this thing and base our lives on the Chief Cornerstone; Jesus the Christ!
Doesn't mean the scoffers will go away...
Doesn't mean the corruption will fade away...
Doesn't mean everyone will be saved...
But what it really means is that God will fulfill His purposes in our midst regardless of those who do not take heed!
The enemy plants tares though the wheat is good. The corruption grows with the good seed, but God knows the end...
Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” Matt. 13:30
