Theme: UNDERSTANDING THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Text: “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God”. – 2 Timothy 3:1-4.

Comment: The key text for today highlights the vices and characters that will be prevalent in the world in this last day. St. Paul described the period as a dangerous time and showed how evil will be rampant in confirmation of previous prophecies. Today there are acts of greed here, there and everywhere. Many people steal and kill to make money. Parents more often than not have no control over their children. More than half of all serious crimes in some countries are perpetrated by youths. There is murder, rape, gross moral degeneration such as homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, lying, stealing, cultism, terrorism, etc. The world is drifting from the path of rectitude and honour as honesty is now a “vice” and dishonesty a “virtue”. As true Christians we should not be guilty of these vices. Those who persist in these sinful acts are already condemned except they repent. – 2 Chronicles 7:14; Isaiah 55:5-7; 1 John 1:9, 10; Proverbs 28:13, 14.
