2 Timothy 3: Evil in the Last Days
1But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. 2For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, 4traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!
6They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions, 7always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and disqualified from the faith. 9But they will not advance much further. For just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone.
All Scripture is God-Breathed
10You, however, have observed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my endurance, 11my persecutions, and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evil men and imposters go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
As I watch the news I see increased evil! Uncontrollable people with no discipline getting into people’s faces, cursing, name calling, without knowledge of history equating the past to the present. They are blinded! Some invoke the name of God while calling for sinful actions.
I believe they should be careful, God won’t be mocked and may turn it around on their heads!
“Turn away from such as these!”
“their folly will be plain to everyone.”!
We need to pray, pray for our leaders, our country, for a revival, for protection.
Remember, God is in control.
Blessings, David
