Who Do You Love?

“But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—2 Timothy 3:1-4

These verses describe our world today. This is how we know we are truly in the last days. We are not surprised when the world acts this way, but do any of these behaviors describe the church? Or you personally? Our only hope of being an effective witness for Jesus, in these last days, is to show the world we are different. Are you a lover of self or a lover of God? Do you spend your day doing what pleases you, or doing what pleases God? Time is running out--for our friends, our family, our neighbors--for all those who don't know Christ. May we all sense the urgency and be lovers of God in these last days.
