Perilous Times - by: The Apostle Paul: 2 Timothy 3
2Tim. 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
come.
Don’t be naive. There are difficult times ahead. As the end
approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed,
money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of
parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending,
slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless,
bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic
to God. They’ll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes
they’re animals. Stay clear of these people. These are
the kind of people who smooth-talk themselves into the homes of
unstable and needy women and take advantage of
them; women who, depressed by their sinfulness, take up with every new
religious fad that calls itself “truth.” They get
exploited every time and never really learn. These men are like those
old Egyptian frauds Jannes and Jambres, who
challenged Moses. They were rejects from the faith, twisted in their
thinking, defying truth itself. But nothing will come
of these latest impostors. Everyone will see through them, just as
people saw through that Egyptian hoax.
