this could be it

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

- 2 Timothy 3:1-9

 

I grew up with parents that watched the news in the morning, at noon, at dinner and at 10pm and I used to wake up every morning and listen to the local news as I was getting ready for work. 

I don’t watch the news anymore because there is rarely anything happy or joyful that is reported, it seems that society has turned into exactly the kind of people that Paul wrote about to Timothy. 

Paul warned Timothy to stay away from these types of people, because it is easy to be convinced to join them, but Paul also assured Timothy that the people who are faithful will indeed see right through the imposters. 

But do we?

Look around, what do we see right now?

We see people that are truly lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God – and to make it worse, we are following them.

We celebrate their wins, we make a big deal out of the very things that go against God’s word.

These are terrible times.

We must keep our faith, stay true to our God, the one true God, and don’t follow those people, lest we become like them.
