"Satan can make men dance upon the brink of hell as though they were on the verge of heaven." ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon

“When they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them…” — 1 Thessalonians 5:3

People can sincerely believe all is well—right up until.. they open their eyes and it really isn’t.

Lots of folk primarily seeking first what ought not to be sought first.. Lovers of pleasure instead of lovers of God.

“…lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God…” — 2 Timothy 3:4

And of course not all pleasure is evil—but when pleasure becomes ultimate, it quietly replaces God.

Might look good for a time. The wide, easy road that outwardly looks and feels so right.
 
“Wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction…” — Matthew 7:13

The crowd is often confident… and often wrong.

Blinded to the truth while thinking they see clearly

“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers…” — 2 Corinthians 4:4

Of course not all dancing is wrong here, but the worldly like their own type of a jig: a “dance”—with blindness that feels like clarity to them.

Living for now only, forgetting God his Son, his top ten list and eternity.. 

“Take your ease… eat, drink, be merry.” But God said… ‘This night your soul will be required of you.’ — Luke 12:19–20

A perfect picture of someone building a “heaven on earth”… moments before meeting God.

Scoffing at judgment because life feels like a normal dance. 

“…they deliberately overlook this… the world… was deluged and perished.” — 2 Peter 3:3–7

God alone saves whom He chooses, but He told us to go share his gospel so we have a part with His Great Commission.

The Spirit gives life, the Son sets free, and we Can decide to repent and believe.. not earning it, cuz we contribute nothing of any good works to gain this indescribable gift, so that we forever give Him thanks and all the glory.  KnowGod org
