The Worlds Greatest Evil

There are many evils in today’s world. Abortion is many times worse than Hitler’s Holocaust. Murder, homosexuality, drugs, theft, envy, greed and all manor of immorality are a common part of life in our times. We do not trust those that we do business with and for good reasons. They will fix what isn’t broken at great cost to us if we are not weary of their schemes. There are those who are worthy of our trust but bad experiences have taught us that we can not necessarily trust our government, our insurance company, our broker and sometimes even our minister. I could give you several examples of these types of injustices but you no doubt have your own horror stories. Morality today is considered to be whatever one can get away with. All of this has given us a bleak and sinister outlook as to the future but none of these rise to the level of today’s worst evil.
When Jesus was asked which of the commandments were the most important he answered with what is sometimes called the eleventh commandment". He said in Mark 12:30 “And thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. If this commandment were kept by a majority of us then the above mentioned evils would be much diminished but most importantly, If this is the most important commandment then doesn’t it follow that the opposite, which is the denial of God, is the worst evil?
So how is this evil manifested in today’s world? This world is like a speeding rocket heading toward the apocalypse of the Revelation. I can assure you that this evil is not only a passive thing brought about by our apathy. There is an organized effort to convince us to deny God which is inspired by no less than Satan himself and we Christians are obligated to resist it. That evil will take the form of a “One World Government” and a “One world Religion” which is Secular Humanism.
No one is pushing these things you may say but you have been fooled by Satan’s subtlety. The United Nations is working hard to become a universal government and billions of our dollars are being spent yearly in an effort to prove that the universe just sprang up spontaneously and that there is no God. This effort comes at us from many fronts. Not the least of these is Darwinism and what I call the New Darwinism which is Global Warming. Global Warming has become an effort to prove that man is in control and not God and will be used to explain away the apocalyptic events predicted in Revelation. When churches give in to these secular views then they will have fulfilled the prophesy that in the latter days there will be those that have a form of Godliness but will deny the power thereof (2 Timothy 3:5). These weak churches will be susceptible to join with the one world religion because there will be little difference.
If we Christians can’t resist the subtle encroachment of Secular Humanism What will we do when the time comes that the remaining Christians will have to choose between denying God and facing certain Death?
