LIVING IN DANGEROUS TIMES

LIVING IN DANGEROUS TIMES

2 Timothy 4:3King James Version (KJV)

³ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

A time is coming when people will no longer listen to right teachings. They will want to edit the right to get along with the bad they are into.

People will simply want to follow their own desires and they will look for teachers who will tell them what they want to hear. In short they will reject the truth and follow strange myths.

Matthew 24:24King James Version (KJV)

²⁴ For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

2 Peter 2:1King James Version (KJV)

2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

In these last days there will be very difficult times. Worldly people are going to love only themselves and be lovers of money.

They will be disobedient to God, to their parents and to anyone who gets in their way. They will consider nothing sacred.

Many people will be unloving and unforgiving. They will slander you and have little self control.

They will be cruel and have no interest in what is good. They will betray their friends and be puffed up with self pride.

They will love pleasure rather than God. At the same time they will act as if they are religious, but will reject the power that could make them godly.

We must stay away from people like that. They will try to work their way into your homes but in the end they will try to destroy you.

God’s truth stands firm. It is a foundation of stone.

2 Timothy 2:19King James Version (KJV)

¹⁹ Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

The Lord knows his own. Those who claim to belong to him must turn away from all wickedness and pray, study the word, and grow close to the Lord.

Hold on to right teachings and live in faith and the love you have in Jesus. Guard what has been entrusted to you with the help of the Holy Spirit.

It is Gods way of preparing us, we will be fully equipped for every good thing of God.

2 Timothy 1:7-9King James Version (KJV)

⁷ For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

⁸ Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

⁹ Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

But of power, love and self discipline; v 9 it is God who saved us and chose us to live a holy life.

He did this to show his love and kindness through Jesus.

V 10   and now he has made us this entire plan available to us by the coming of Jesus who broke the power of death and showed us the way to everlasting life.

Be aware, don’t listen to false teaching.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12King James Version (KJV)

¹⁰ And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

¹¹ And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

¹² That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Remember what Jesus said in John 10:10

I am come that you might you might have life and life more abundantly.
