what is happening to morality in the world today?
Morality is undergoing a complete breakdown, godly restraints are loosening, and wickedness is rapidly increasing worldwide. This decline is not confined to big cities but is appearing wherever one goes. These moral conditions are mushrooming, signaling that the world is getting close to the end.
Les teaches that the world is rapidly falling into more and more wickedness, and he sees this as a sign that the Lord is coming any day now, without setting dates. He shares an account of a listener saved out of abject ungodliness who said the country is going down the tube. That listener runs a moving business and hires about 25 or 30 strong young men. One fellow told him they were living in wicked times, then described a house party where the drugs and sex got so awful he had to leave. Les points out that if a person with that kind of lifestyle could not stand it, then the depths those people are going to must be even worse. Les says he is hearing this over and over, not just in big cities but wherever you go: there is a complete breakdown in morality, a complete loosening of godly restraints, and it is starting to mushroom. He asks what this tells us and answers that we are getting close to the end. He references Luke 21 but insists he is not being an alarmist or sensationalist.
