Understanding these Last Days!

If you want to understand what is happening, in the end, times churches read 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

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."

A form of religion but denial of God, lack of faith in the Bible mixed with human knowledge falsely called wisdom. Our churches have deviated from the truth as written in the Bible to embrace human wisdom devised by the devil.

1 Peter 5:8 "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."

The best way to ruin society is to bring a false gospel, making people feel comfortable and happy in church. They believe they are going to heaven based on the false gospel but have never been born again.

Matthew 7:21-23

I Never Knew You

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’

23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"

If you want to be sure you were born again and not just indulging in a cultural Christianity to feel good, then you must ask God if you were ever born again and be willing to believe Him when He speaks.

Cultural Christianity is far different from authentic Christianity. Cultural Christianity is based on feelings about good deeds but has no fruit of the Spirit. Authentic Christianity is when a person has been completely changed by Christ in their response to be cleansed of their sin.

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."

Matthew 7:15-20

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them."

When we meet an authent born again believer their Spirit connects with our Spirit and we know they are our brother or sister.

1 John 3:13-14 "…13 So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death."

Do not allow the world in the church to confuse or descourage you, Noah went through it and so did Lot. We can expect much rejection and mocking until Christ comes for us.

Hallelujah!!!!
