Marijuana, no big deal?

I know we are supposed to respect our leaders, but really?!?  Hard to respect the person....I have seen some dumb statements. Really dumb.  But have you seen this?  0bama: Marijuana no more dangerous than alcohol

As I read this, some of his quotes are beyond dumb:

"As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol"

Smoking marijuana is "not something I encourage, and I've told my daughters I think it's a bad idea, a waste of time, not very healthy,"

I really have to wonder why our world is going. Well, no, I don't have to wonder. It is the end times. Revelation tells us:

¹³ Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, ¹⁴ saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” ¹⁵ So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. ¹⁶ Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. ¹⁷ And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. ¹⁸ By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. ¹⁹ For their power^[a] is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.

²⁰ But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. ²¹ And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries^[b] or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

In verse 21, sorceries is actually referring to drugs.  It is the actually Greek word for pharmacy, Pharmakeia.  So its no wonder that this world is normalizing so many things that are sin, and nothing but.

That passage of scripture really lays out where we are as a world.  We must repent from our ways.  Jesus is coming soon. I feel like I could go on and on. By no means am I faultless....I am a sinner too.  I have made some poor choices in my life.  Grace is what has saved me. 

While on the topic of repentance, please feel free to take a moment and check out this "test"....please feel free to see if you are a good person.  Good Person Test

See, when we compare ourselves to the world's standards we can come out looking pretty 'good'.....but in reality, we are going to be judges by God's law.  We all have fallen short.  But God provided His son, Jesus to pay the price. He is a gracious God.

People get ready, Jesus is coming soon.
