Lazy Careless Christians will not be able to Stand

2 Thessalonians 3:14

"If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take note of that person and do not associate with him, so that will be put to shame."

The church has been seriously diluted with false doctrine. When it is not a false doctrine it will be a distraction of many things, politics, pleasure, desire for fun and many things that work against the Spirit of God.

We are living in the last days of apostasy in which it will be very difficult to connect with others who love the Lord with all their heart because there are so few.

2 Thessalonians 3:1-4

Request for Prayer

3 Finally, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it was also with you;

2 and that we will be rescued from troublesome and evil people; for not all have the faith.

3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.

4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you are doing, and will do, what we command."

The devil wants the worship of believers, he doesn't care if you mess up your relationship with Christ, he cares that you ignore God and refuse to listen to the Holy Spirit. A false religion of self is far more desirable to the devil than total open hatred toward God. He wants us to appear spiritual while denying Christ through our lifestyle.
