IN THE LAST DAYS
Today's reading: 2 Timothy 3-4

"...in the last days there will be...They will act as if they are religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. You must stay away from people like that." 2 Timothy 3:1-5 NLT

Maybe you've seen it. Maybe you're heard about it. Maybe you're a part of it.

Churches and church people who are...

...more concerned with their Christian service than being Christlike.
...focused on schedules instead of souls.
...pushing attendance and not attention.
...preaching out of tradition rather than in true worship.
...worried more about the outside than the inside.
...intent on their programs, not their people.
...desiring to please the church and not Christ.
...gathering the masses but not ministering to the hearts.
...advertising books and not the Book.
...wanting an audience instead of awe and wonder.
...focusing on the appearance and not their content.

Stay away, it tells us. Turn around if that's the direction we're headed. Stop and repent if we're a part of it.
