    Markers of the Last Days

    When the apostle Paul writes to Timothy about “the last days,” he doesn’t start by describing earthquakes, wars, or cosmic signs. He starts by describing people. Scripture repeatedly warns us:  The last days will not be marked by less religion, but by more deception.  Not fewer spiritual claims — but more.  Which means those in the churches need to be watchful and aware.  The test is not charisma. Not popularity. Not signs. The test is truth. Scripture List:  2Timothy 3:1; Hebrews 1:1-2; 1Corinthians 10:11; 2Timothy 3:2-4; 2Timothy 3:5; Matthew 7:15; 1John 2:18; 1John 4:1-3; 2Thessalonians 2:1-3; 2Thessalonians 2:9-10; Hebrews 10:23-25; 2Timothy 3:6-7; Numbers 16:1-3; Numbers 16:32, 35; Numbers 16:41; 2Timothy 3:8-9; Psalm 106:12-14; Hebrews 4:13.

    Lamenting Our Enemies

    We live in a time where the downfall of others is often celebrated, mocked, replayed, and shared. Social media has turned judgment into entertainment, and death—even of enemies—into spectacle.  But Scripture gives us a very different posture: lament instead of gloating, sorrow instead of satisfaction, humility instead of triumph. This episode asks a hard question:  What does it say about our hearts when we rejoice over the destruction of others? Scripture List : Amos 2:1-2; Luke 20:37-40; Romans 14:7-9; Luke 16:22-25; 2Samuel 1:17-20, 23, 27; 1Samuel 31:11-13; 2Samuel 18:31-33; Genesis 6:5-6 & 8:21; Ezekiel 33:10-11; Luke 19:41-44; Luke 23:33-34; Philippians 3:17-18; 2Timothy 4:16-17.
