Called By Christ To Be ONE: The Pursuit Of Pleasure Is Nothing New.

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

The Pursuit Of Pleasure Is Nothing New.

LISTEN

The pursuit of pleasure is nothing new. Solomon reminds us in the Book of Ecclesiastes that “nothing under the sun is truly new” (1:9 NLT). Though our technology has changed and we’ve had certain advancements since Solomon’s day, the basic cravings of humanity have not changed.

The basic things we seek out to find fulfillment have not changed either. The philosophy of “eat, drink, and be merry!” (Luke 12:19 NLT) has been with us for a long time.

In chapter 2 of Ecclesiastes, Solomon wrote, “I said to myself, ‘Come on, let’s try pleasure. Let’s look for the “good things” in life’ But I found that this, too, was meaningless” (verse 1 NLT).

Joy Davidman, the wife of C. S. Lewis, had this insightful statement about the pursuit of pleasure: “Living for his own pleasure is the least pleasurable thing a man can do. If his neighbors don’t kill him in disgust, he will die slowly of boredom and powerlessness.”

That is so true. As someone has pointed out, the only cure for hedonism is trying to practice it. Solomon was engaged in horizontal living. In other words, he had omitted God from his worldview.

Throughout Ecclesiastes, Solomon used the phrase “under the sun.” But it was only when he looked above the sun and to God that he found the answers he was seeking.

If you have a relationship with God and are walking closely with Him, then you will see this world for what it is. You will recognize the philosophies, concepts, and ideologies that contradict what the Bible teaches. When you are walking closely with God, you also will see the emptiness and the futility of the things that people chase after.

When we see God for who He is, we will see this world for what it is.
