Do You Want Christ or Do You Just Want His Stuff

Do You Want Christ or Do You Just Want His Stuff?

2 Timothy 3:3-9

"1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith;
9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was."

This verse caught my eye the first time I saw it. I see so much of this in the apostate churches today:

"5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. "

Many want the benefits that God has to offer, but they do not want to submit to Him.

He will not save anyone who only wants His stuff, He will only save those who want HIM.
