* We look for the new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Comments by Joan Boney:

In the end times the apostle Paul warned us that "perilous times" would come and men would "wax worse and worse." 

II Timothy 3

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

We should not be dismayed when we see men doing terrible things before our eyes on TV.

We are told by the scripture that men will get worse and worse in the last days.

It is in the new heaven wherein dwelleth righteous.  (II Peter 3:13)

We work to keep our faith in God and to endure to the end, when those who are steadfast in belief in God will be taken to the new heaven and new earth.

So pray and focus on scripture, on that which God says, and remember the days when you were first saved and the things God has done for you.

Philippians 4  

8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

People of this world try to find humans that are good.

Jesus said only God is God.

God saved us and changed us from that which we once were.  So if good is seen in us, it is God who changed us to good.

II Corinthians 5:17   Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
