In September of 2023, an 11-year-old boy stood trial in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, charged with killing his mother because she refused to buy him a virtual reality headset. Incidents like this appear more frequently in the news because the godless, reprobate culture in which we currently live (II Timothy 3:3-5) has produced a growing lack of family affection and a satanic callousness. Narcissism and self-centeredness have snuffed out out-going concern, and like the times of the Judges, everyone does what is right in their own eyes (Judges 21:25). Jesus warned His disciples that at the end time, because of lawlessness, the love of many will grow cold. God's called-out saints face an additional danger that because of corruption of society, their agape love, because of the media-encouraged generation gap, will also incrementally cool, destroying bonds not only among blood relatives, but spiritual siblings as well . The best antidote to restore agape love is to study God's word. For God's saints, now is the worst time to avoid the authority of the Bible, not only to learn its precepts, but applying the doctrine by concrete deeds of service, emulating our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We have been given God's Holy Spirit (the very mind of Jesus Christ and God the Father) to serve and edify our spiritual siblings.
