But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men. (2 Timothy 3:1-9)
These days, we believers need to be sure we know the Word! We must know right from wrong and biblical from unbiblical! Refuse to waiver from the Truth! It will cost us friends, family, and perhaps jobs and reputation among people. However, being loyal to Christ far outweighs popularity and political correctness!
It is amazing how the 500th anniversary of the Reformation and the troubled times in our society coincide. Like those in the 1500's, we need to take a stand for God's inerrant Word. As the evangelists of the Great Awakening, we need to fan the flame of the Spirit of God within us!
We must not allow a mere appearance of godliness sneak in and sway us. We must stand on Truth and live by Truth. While we cannot change the world, or even our Nation by ourselves, we can be sure the flame within us burns hot and bright. 🔥🔥
Who knows how it may catch on and spread?
