2025 October 19th Streaming
We are living in a time when people are just trying to survive! Whether it be a job, economic disparities, social injustice, or a marriage that is on the brink of collapse, people are hanging on with every ounce of human strength just to maintain a sense of “keeping it together.” The illusion of there being a moral compass in societies has been unmasked.
2 Timothy 3:1-4 says,
1.But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. 2. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy 3. unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, 4. traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5. having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these.
In the Church the idea of being “saved” or “born-again” has been so diluted and muddied with subjective ideas of man-made religion to such a large degree, that it has left many in the Church disillusioned and confused while trying to “wade” through the woes and cares of the world.
In a time where it appears that the world is spinning out of control, including the Church with it, these powerful words from John bring comfort and peace to the one who “knows” that they are the Spiritual Son of God.
“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may “know” that you have eternal life.” 1 John 5: 13
I trust the Father that, “…The eyes of “our” heart “will” be enlightened, so that “we” may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints 19 and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength. (Ephesians 1: 18,19) as we continue our discussion in the final chapter of John’s first epistle.
