Genesis 6:1-8

Listen to Genesis 6:1-8
1 Da sich aber die Menschen begannen zu mehren auf Erden und ihnen Töchter geboren wurden,
2 da sahen die Kinder Gottes nach den Töchtern der Menschen, wie sie schön waren, und nahmen zu Weibern, welche sie wollten.
3 Da sprach der HERR: Die Menschen wollen sich von meinem Geist nicht mehr strafen lassen; denn sie sind Fleisch. Ich will ihnen noch Frist geben hundertundzwanzig Jahre.
4 Es waren auch zu den Zeiten Tyrannen auf Erden; denn da die Kinder Gottes zu den Töchtern der Menschen eingingen und sie ihnen Kinder gebaren, wurden daraus Gewaltige in der Welt und berühmte Männer. {~} {~}
5 Da aber der HERR sah, daß der Menschen Bosheit groß war auf Erden und alles Dichten und Trachten ihres Herzens nur böse war immerdar,
6 da reute es ihn, daß er die Menschen gemacht hatte auf Erden, und es bekümmerte ihn in seinem Herzen,
7 und er sprach: Ich will die Menschen, die ich gemacht habe, vertilgen von der Erde, vom Menschen an bis auf das Vieh und bis auf das Gewürm und bis auf die Vögel unter dem Himmel; denn es reut mich, daß ich sie gemacht habe.
8 Aber Noah fand Gnade vor dem HERRN.

Dr. Jeff Schreve

When you look around today, does it seem as though evil is overcoming good?  Do you find yourself becoming increasingly numb to the tragedies and travesties occurring around the world at a breakneck pace?  In Noah’s day the world looked a lot like it does now and God was grieved and forced to pass judgment.  In this hard-hitting message from Pastor Jeff Schreve called A WORLD GONE WICKED, he details the key similarities between Noah's day and present day,  and poses the question of whether or not you are someone who is also grieving God.
