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! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (2Timothy 3:1-7)
This passage could easily be a commentary from a socially conservative individual on any modern news program! In this day of mud-slinging presidential politics, I want to key in on the phrase "having a form of godliness but denying its power." We believers find ourselves between the proverbial 'rock and hard place.' We feel pressure from all sides as we listen to the rhetoric. America is looking for a candidate who: will lower taxes and provide more social programs...is against abortion but says its okay to kill babies...wants to bring our soldiers home and will put in place a global police force...supports Israel and Palestine...is a believer in Jesus Christ and Muhammad, Buddha, Hinduism, etc.,... The bottom line is this...The next president of the United States of America will be a human being. America does not need another human being (of any political persuasion). AMERICA NEEDS A MESSIAH! I call upon the believers of this country to quit looking to our political leadership as pseudo messiahs. Your call to be a part of the Family of the Almighty is much higher than a political ideal. Do not allow any smooth talking politician to define your relationship with your heavenly Father. In the big scheme of things, our political persuasion is about on the same level as deciding which gas station to use to fill your automobile.
Men and women of the Family, "lift up your heads, your redemption draweth nigh"! As you watch events unfold, please don't forget that this world is about to undergo some radical changes in the very near future and there is not one man or woman anywhere that is up to the task of staying the judgement that is about to be unleashed. The One-World Government is right around the corner. With every tick of the clock, we see end times prophecy being fulfilled. Many times I find myself in the position of not knowing how to pray because of biblical prophecy (i.e. the division of Jerusalem, etc.). I believe we are in for an exciting ride in the days ahead!
Just as we as Americans have allowed fear-mongering politicians scare us into voting in a particular fashion, we as believers have allowed memorial building preachers to scare us into a scriptural belief system that is contrary to the whole of the Word. We have spent a whole lot of time teaching about the reign of the Antichrist, when according to Scripture, his reign is designed by Yehuweh to set up Messiah's kingdom. This is the one-world government we should be focusing on! We are talking about a 1000 year period versus a 7 year stint...Which one requires a greater preparation? Think about it!
Shalom
