Pastor Paul continues this week with a look at 2 Timothy 3:1-9. Evil is coming. We know it's coming, so when it arrives, what will be our response? 
2 Timothy 3:1 (ESV)
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. What is a trap: - A device or enclosure designed to catch and retain something, typically by allowing entry but not exit or by catching hold of a part of the body. 2 Timothy 3:2-4 (ESV) For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 2 Timothy 3:5 (ESV) having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 2 Timothy 3:6-7 (ESV) For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. John 14:26 (ESV) But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 2 Timothy 3:8-9 (ESV) Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (ESV) 16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self[a] is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. What will be your response? Comments are closed.
