Live streaming has become the media of choice for showing the world the final moments of a person's immeasurably precious and all too short life. For those who happen to view these horrible "mementos" of these peoples' lives, only serve to ramp up their own tolerance levels toward crime and evil overall. In fact, as a society, we are already so jaded and apathetic when it comes to "man's cruelty to man," that we merely shrug when we hear of yet another 100 people dying from some horrible catastrophe...over there. It makes it harder to empathize, leading to the hardening of our own hearts. The news tends to feature accounts of evil unheard of even a few years ago, yet it's nothing more than background "white noise," to the point that we simply block it out.
The Bible tells us in end times we will live in perilous times, and that deception will be everywhere. And people are being deceived. By the billions. So in a culture that glorifies evil and death, a culture that reeks of deception, with no moral compass nor any influence of God, it's no surprise that people--both young and old--have decided to turn to live media to show off to the world that they're taking the last, most permanent step of all: their own suicide. What's chilling is that many suicides, or attempted suicides, are by kids as young as 12! 😨
Lord Jesus, you are the Great Healer; surround those people who are hurting physically, mentally, and spiritually. Draw them near to you so they can understand that You are the great Healer, and that only You can pull them out of the pain that afflicts them, amen!
