How To Live In the Last Days

Sunday mornng our church heard a powerful sermon on "How To Live In the Last Days".   Through this sermon, we were challenged to strive for godliness according to God's Word.  The points brought out are wonderful reminders for us as Christians to live a life of holiness and godliness and brought us back to the basics of Christian living - reading God's Word and prayer.  Through the week we will highlight some of these admonitons. 

May we reflect on God's Word this week with a heart open to His leading:

II Timothy 3:15: 
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:  For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,  traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,  having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

Back in the days of the early Christians, they lived in expectation of the Lord's return.  This verse reveals some of the heart attitudes of the last days.  Do these sound familiar?  May we purpose to live watchfully for the return of the Lord and live a lifestyle that is distinctly different from the world that offers grace and hope while pointing the way to the Savior.
