“For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that.” 2 Timothy 3:2-5
” Yes, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.” 2 Timothy 3:12
Sometimes we can be too close to the trees to see the forest. In today’s world we are living in yesterdays prophesies. What Paul was describing to Timothy, in the above scriptures, are hard to deny that we are living and seeing those exact things play out in in today’s world. Yes, as many say, we have seen all of these things in past generations, but not in the totality as we see them today. We are witnessing the boastful, the unsacred, the unforgiving and those who slander the gospel. We are seeing those who are puffed up with pride, those who betray their friends and who love pleasure rather than God. We are seeing those who murder and those who are in authority supporting it. We are seeing things in todays world that the generations before us would not be able to believe. It is time to set up and take notice. It is time to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and build upon our faith in Him and belief in his works in our lives. Yes, we will suffer persecution for our witness, but it is with God in heaven that we have safety, promises, security, strength, and knowledge of the things to come. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
