2 Timothy 3:13-14, “Evil men and seducers shall wax worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.”
If we take that forecast to heart we cannot help but to be discouraged. If we look at the evening news we see only the bad and ugly. Wickedness abounds on every side. Evil men will multiply in number and wickedness. Not only will they be set on deceiving others, but they themselves will be so hardened against God that they will justify their wickedness to themselves, deceiving themselves. Not a pretty picture. Paul wants to warn Timothy and us to commit ourselves to Christ. We are to put our faith and trust in Him in the most difficult times now and in the future.
It is very discouraging when we see fewer and fewer standing for the truth of Jesus Christ. The propaganda of our age is deceiving many and turning more away from Christ. Paul is telling us we need to remember what we learned and what Jesus has done for us. Do not compromise God’s perfect Word for the fallible thinking of fallen heads.
Today we are witnessing a falling away from God and His truth. Governments are making judgments that are breaking up the home and family. The moral fiber of our country is under attack and as Christians we need to take a stand for Christ and the truth of God’s Word. Yes evil wicked men are on the rise but our God is more powerful than them all and is still in control. As His children God expects us to stand and be counted to remember the things we learned and know to be true.
The battle was won on a roman cross. Our Lord and King reigns and is still alive and well. “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31
