Génesis 6:5

Men and women’s actions were very wicked and their thoughts and affections were completely evil by this time (cf. Genesis 6:11-12; Romans 1:18-32).

"Near the turn of the 19th century F. W. Farrar wrote a book entitled Seekers After God. The book was a popular seller and was in considerable demand. A certain western bookseller had a number of requests for the volume but had no copies available. He sent a telegram to the dealers in New York requesting them to ship him a number of the books. After awhile a telegram came back which read, ’No seekers after God in New York. Try Philadelphia.’" [Note: D. Edmond Hiebert, Working with God: Scriptural Studies in Intercession, pp. 100-101.]
