Life goes by in a blur. Its always been a balancing act. However, today seems to hold new challenges – like how to glean information from the news and NOT get tangled up in the thinking of \u201clast day\u2019s men.\u201d 2 Timothy 3:1-7 warns about these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 1 – But understand this Timothy, that in the last days difficult times will be present.<\/em><\/strong> I can already see the difficulty that\u2019s taken over the world recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verses 2 & 5 – For there will be men – lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive to parents, disobedient, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, implacable, slanderous, without self-control, savage, without love of good, treacherous, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness – but denying the power of it. And from these turn away.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>These folks are everywhere! I feel more on-guard than ever before. Evil influences seem to surround everyone I love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 6 – <\/strong><\/em>Out of this group are those entering into households and taking captive weak women burdened with sins being led away by various passions, <\/em><\/strong>This verse grabbed me. God promises His Word will always convict<\/em>, dividing thoughts and intentions<\/em> of the heart. I had to stop and ask, \u201cWho is Paul warning us about?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking up words in<\/strong> original Greek I found:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.weak<\/strong> is gune<\/a>; little, foolish, silly (woman)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. sin<\/strong> is hamartia; an offense (abstract) yours or someone else’s<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. passions<\/strong> is epithumia: having strong feelings of any kind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow- I do have strong feelings about current events. I\u2019m not burdened by my own forgiven sin, but sometimes I carry the sin of those I love. I was also convicted of listened to opinions of \u201clast day\u2019s men.\u201d Determining right then to evaluate more carefully every report I read and watch, especially listening for anything opposed to God\u2019s Truth, I prayed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LORD, as it gets harder and harder to see the truth, help Your children judge rightly the lies. Guard our hearts and minds in Christ. Give us a spirit of wisdom to recognize foolishness. In Jesus\u2019 Mighty Name! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t want to be a weak, silly women like verse 7. “always learning and never coming The Truth.” <\/em><\/strong>Like I asked in 2019, I just want clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ForGlorySake!<\/strong> -Anna<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
