In the end time, before Jesus returns, wickedness will abound in this world and even in the churches.
Jesus says: And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. (Mt. 24:12-13)
Also in Bible we are told to exhort one another even more as we see the day of the Lord approaching. (Heb. 10:25)
Exhort means: to urge earnestly by advice or warning
The apostle Paul said: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (II Tim. 3)
We are in danger of our love for the Word of God slipping away because iniquity abounds, says Jesus.
We may not want to warn one another, but we must do so.
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
I witnessed a woman who very much wanted to know things of God in the beginning. But after about 35 years she changed. When I spoke to her to share that which God had shown me she went dead silent but when I spoke of a TV show or movie she came alive. Her love of the things of God grew cold and she eventually left us.
It can and will happen to many that their love will wax cold as the iniquity abounds on TV and in the hearts of those people whom they love.
We work to keep our love for scriptures and things of God.

Matthew 24 Jesus says:
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

I think we must work even more to keep before us scriptures for the way of life today is so contrary to the word of God in the Bible.
Matthew 5:32 Jesus says: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
I Corinthians 7:10-11 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
Romans 1:26-27 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Revelation 3:5 Jesus says: He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Some, who follow their own fleshly desires and thereby walk in the flesh, will not overcome sins of the flesh and therefore Jesus will blot their names out of the book of life.
But if we walk in the Spirit, following the instructions of the Spirit of God, thereby denying our flesh, we will not fall into condemnation.
Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Romans 8:13-14 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
