#759 AN AGE OF SELF-LOVERS

The Apostle Paul, in his last epistle written before his execution in Rome, urgently warned, "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 ..." (2 Timothy 3:1-2). Paul was writing about the state of Christ's church around 62 A.D. Little could he have known that his statement would be magnified many times over by the year 2025, as we see in the lack of commitment and genuine faith in our congregation today. Talk about our faith is meaningless without evidence that we live by faith.
