It is always heartening to read a contribution from Don Mayle. We all need to be alerted to Biblical guidelines.

The English language being what it is, it would be clearer to show the prophecy mentioned as "in the latter times the love for God will grow cold". ( In other words, we are warned of a time when man's love for God will grow cold).

This is to point out that God's love will never grow cold, even when He has to discipline us.

What loving father will not discipline his child in order to guide him away from danger?

God's love for mankind is unbounded.
