Why has this people, Jerusalem, turned away in continual apostasy? They hold on to deceit, they refuse to return. I have listened and heard, they have spoken what is not right; no one repented of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Everyone turned to his own course, like a horse charging into the battle. (Jeremiah 8:5-6)
“Everyone turned to his own course” is the description of our culture today.
It’s selfish pragmatism—I can determine what’s right for me. This “continual apostasy” will be our undoing as individuals and as a nation unless we repent and turn wholeheartedly back to God and His righteous ways!
