A World Run Amuck

For those who have the sense that everything is upside down and sideways, irrational and out of control, adults who act like spoiled children and a government run amuck, the following verses shed some light on it all;

2 Timothy 3:1-5
"1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."

Welfare Over Happiness

If there is true love God's way, then everything else will fall into place, because there will be a deeper concern about a person's long term welfare than their temporary happiness.

Proverbs 27:6 "Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy."
