Our world today is marked by instability and uncertainty. James 4:14 reminds us, You do not know what tomorrow will bring. Lawlessness is increasing, not only in society but also in how people reject God’s revealed righteousness in Scripture. As reverence for God declines, so does respect for others. The ‘Golden Rule’—As you wish that others would do to you, do so to them (Luke 6:31)—once a moral compass, is largely ignored. Jesus called this principle the heart of the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 7:12). Without it, cycles of conflict grow: oppression breeds rebellion, and rebellion invites retaliation. Class struggles escalate, with power met by protest and protest by control. Isaiah 57:21 sums it up: ‘There is no peace,’ says my God, ‘for the wicked.’ True peace can’t exist where God is rejected. The world may shift, but Christ remains our only stable foundation. Let’s cling to Him—and live out His truth.
