PEOPLE ARE OFFENDED; JESUS IS COMING

Matthew 24:6-8 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars.  See that you are not troubled, for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.  And there will be famine, pestilences and earthquakes in various places.  All these are the beginning of sorrows.

We read Matthew 24:6-8 and we see the signs of the world we live in; wars, earthquakes, pestilences and famine…and we hear the preaching.  But seldom do we hear the preaching on Verse 10; BEING OFFENDED!

Matthew 24:10 And then many will be OFFENDED, will betray one another and will hate one another.

Have you ever witnessed a time when everything that occurs offends somebody!

Republicans are offended at Democrats because they take their money and give it away.  Democrats are offended at Republicans because they want to keep their money instead of giving it away.

Gay people are offended because some won’t accept and celebrate their lifestyle choices.  Straight people are offended because gay people flaunt their lifestyle choice and expect everyone to accept it.

Atheists are offended because Christians pray in public and say Merry Christmas.  Christians are offended because Atheists don’t believe in God and say Happy Holidays.

Minorities are offended at majorities, Senior Citizens are offended at Millennial, women are offended at men and employees are offended at employers.  This list could be turned around, read backwards and added to daily.

We need to recognize that this “Offended World” we live in is another sign that “it won’t be long and we’ll be going home.”

STOP being offended and get busy; JESUS IS COMING!
