From the Bible study I am doing.... I also have homework for you to do. This next week I want you to start observing what you see on TV, or what you read in the paper or magazines. Listen to the music on the radio, and listen to what others say. Then start writing them down. Every single thing I hear and see? No, but I want you to pay attention to what the world is really like and how it has really separated itself from God. You will base your observations on these next verses. · 2 Tim 3:1-5 (NLT)1 You should also know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. 2 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. 3 They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control; they will be cruel and have no interest in what is good. 4 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. 5 They will act as if they are religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. You must stay away from people like that. You may be surprised out how much of this verse you see in the world. We tend to forget how sinful this world is and we almost become dull of see and hearing because we see it so much everyday. Then when we speak against it we are considered too religious. People (even some Christians) say, Come on this is the year 2000, youre to old fashioned. Everybodys doing it, its OK. But God is never changing. ¨ Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob. ¨ Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus even warns us about getting to comfortable in this world. · Luke 17:26-29 (NKJV)26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Dont get comfortable in this world. Because its just about time to go home! -(usethesword)
