Bible Ballistics: BBs #656 Answer For The Perilous Times???
Good morning. I simply want to share some food for thought with you in these “perilous” times. We often go to Paul’s words to Timothy in 2 Timothy 3, as he warns us of the peril to come, but often we stop with the peril and don’t go on to see what he recommends that we do. I just ask that you read and ponder Paul’s words which are so timely for today.
“Yea,
and all that will live godly
in Christ Jesus
shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers
shall wax worse
and worse,
deceiving,
and being deceived.
14 But continue thou
in the things which thou hast learned
and hast been assured of,
knowing of whom
thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child
thou hast known the holy scriptures,
which are able
to make thee wise
unto salvation
through faith
which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture
is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable
for doctrine,
for reproof,
for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God
may be perfect,
throughly furnished
unto all good works.
4:1 I charge thee therefore
before God,
and the Lord Jesus Christ,
who shall judge the quick and the dead
at his appearing
and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word;
be instant in season,
out of season;
reprove,
rebuke,
exhort
with all longsuffering
and doctrine.” 2 Timothy 3:12-4:2
Perilous times are upon us; the choice is ours as to how we will respond. God calls us to stand fast in HIS Word; but to do that you must be IN HIS Word! May we all be more diligent to pursue our Lord through humble prayer, a hunger for HIS righteousness, and an appetite for HIS Word that can’t be spoiled by the world’s ‘junk food’!
Blessings on your week as you seek HIS face!
Amen and Amen!
