Watch out

"For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning."2 Peter 2:20

After enjoying salvation, if one does not watch, he can be entangled by the variety of traps the devil sets before him, making it hard to return to the Kingdom of God.

Hard times

"...That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God."1 Peter 4:2

Japan's recent catastrophe sends out concrete signs of the end of times. The wise does not ignore the recent ocurrances but corrects himself before God. The days that preceded the Flood in Noah's time are similar to those we live in today.
