2 Timothy 3:1-7

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!

  Well, today, in America, in the world, we have a major crisis and it is not the COVID virus.  It is the addiction to satan and his ways.  You may say WHAT???

  Yes,  Let us look at what Paul warned Timothy in 2 Timothy chapter 3 and verses 1 through 7.

3 This know also: that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

We see this now with the social media, people taking selfies, which in turn is PRIDE covering boasters & proud.  Some blasphemy, some are disobedient not only to parents but to authorities, and could care less about GOD (unholy).

3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers (liberals against Christians), without selfcontrol (I can do whatever I want), fierce, despisers of those who are good (here is where we have attacks on the Christians),

Please look at the words I have placed in bold and meditate on their ramifications to you, to me, to everyone.

  Verse 4 describes a lot of our liberal friends and died in the wool politicians who are out for themselves (Democrats, Republicans, Independent, etc).

4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God,

5 having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. From such turn away.  You will find this in everyday living and even more so in colleges and even our seminary schools.  One pastor told me when he went they were told not to teach or preach the persecution of Christ as it would scare people away. HUH??? Unfortunately this teaching is true. :( We need to tell the truth, Christ shed HIS blood for us. 

6 For of this sort are those who creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Here I do believe this is not just "women" but the temptation of sin to all mankind.  Never really recognizing or acknowledging the truth. Please note the word "CREEP" into houses.  This, to me is compromise. Well, it was a good movie, BUT, there was some really bad language and a couple of vivid sexual scenes; BUT, it had a great theme.  Huh??

 Running with the attitude "if I ignore it, or pass over it, it will go away".  Yet it does not, and it deepens the wound even more.  This opens us up even more to satans attacks because NOW he has found, yet, another weakness.

   So, what are we to do?  We must stay grounded in the LORD JESUS CHRIST and  follow the book of facts called the BIBLE!!!   I hope this has had meaning to you today. Thank you for reading and may your day be wonderful and blessed. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
