We all ask "Is it getting worse or do we just notice it more", but regardless, it is frightening. I do know He hardens our hearts when we turn our backs on Him. Even more reason to hold on to Him and His Word even tighter. So many are saying these are the birth pangs that He told us would come.
One wonders how this mothers life (and consequently the sons life)would have turned out had she gave it to The Lord. I dont mean to sound preachy, truth is I am backsliden but still believe.
