Difficult Times
2 Timothy 3:1-5 is here now!
"3 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 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, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people."
These are difficult times to live in because of the disrespect for God.
When we watch what is happening today, good is called bad and bad is called good; even in church gatherings, the ones being punished are the ones speaking the truth from God's Word. They are gossiped against, minimized, and rejected.
God told us to count it all joy when we are reviled for Christ's sake.
Matthew 5:11-12 "11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
We are not here on this earth to be praised by men or loved by family members; we are here to speak for God, His way from His Word.
Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet."
Many "Christians" are pleasure-seeking, desire popularity, and indulge in activities that dishonor God. It is not possible to be like this and love God with all your heart too!!
Matthew 22:37-40 "37 And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 Upon these two commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Loving God first and then others is to desire to bring truth and all the fruit of the Spirit of God to every relationship.
Galatians 5:22-23 "22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."

Modesty Demonstrates Humility and Respect
The immodest clothing we see in our day is a reflection of prophecy.
When the first bikini came out, only prostitutes would model it; no self-respecting model would wear it.
We are living in the end times when nearly all respect for self and others is gone. This behavior of lack of self-respect and lack of respect for others is commonplace now. Prophecy told us it would happen in God's Word.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 "Difficult Times Will Come
3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, 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 people as these.""
What is acceptable now would have lost a woman societal respect even just 100 years ago.
The hardest thing to watch is that this immodest clothing is now accepted in the churches. Holes in jeans, tight and short dresses, and much more.
This and many other signs we are living in the last days confront us every day. Our hope is not in the world changing but it is in our homegoing soon when we will leave this world behind.
In the meantime, we can be what God wants us to be in spite of what the world is doing all around us.
Micah 6:8 "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"
It is a lack of humility to dress immodestly, showing off what only a husband should see.
Deuteronomy "“And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today for your good?"
Proverbs 14:16 "One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless."
Colossians 1:13 "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,"
