Perilous Times

 
  God’s Holy Book the Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 3:1-5  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!
  As we see unrest in our world, governments and men’s plans crumbling in the Middle East, world economies on the verge of bankruptcy, our own United States so deep in debt that it is nearly impossible to turn around without great sacrifice and pain, and the rise of destructive false religion that demands your conversion or they kill you, I am reminded of the great shaking that is predicted by the Hebrew writer.  He states that God’s voice through Moses shook the earth when the Ten Commandments were given and no one who refused His words could escape judgment.
  The next verses in Hebrews 12 state that God’s voice from heaven will speak and shake all that is shakable.  These things are the evil and transient things of this earth.  They will be removed by fire and God’s New Unshakable Kingdom will last forever.  All who refuse Christ will perish but those who believe on Him will have eternal life.  When will this happen?  I don’t know, but it is closer than it has ever been. These are perilous times.  There is only one way to be saved from judgment and hell.  It is through surrender to and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  God declares this in His Holy Bible.  Seek and find Him today!
