Be The Change

Everyone wants a change in our dying society, but nobody wants to put in the work to change their selves and the part of the world around them. And so today I would like to share in 2 Timothy chapter 3 about the times we are in. Let us begin.

2 Timothy chapter 3 says,
"1- This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2- For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous *lovers of money*, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy.
3- Without natural affection, trucebreakers *irreconcilable*, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4- Traitors, heady *reckless*, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5- Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6- For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly woman laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7- Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8- Now as Jan-nes and Jam-bres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9- But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10-  But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11- Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at An'-ti-och, at I-co'-ni-um, at Lys'-tra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the LORD delivered me.
12- Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ JESUS shall suffer persecution.
13- But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14- But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15- And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ JESUS.
16- All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17- That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished into all good works."

In light of what is going on in the world, and in this country I was led to make this post as I spoke a little bit on pre-scriptures. These scriptures explain what is going on in the world exactly, and it's just preparing us of what is happening and for what is to come, because God, of course, already knows. It also, tells us what to do during these times to be set apart like we are called to be.

We are called to be set apart from the world because if we act like them they don't see the need to change, for we have not given them a reason to change. They think well they say they're a Christian but really they act just like me so I don't really need to change I can just put a label on me. Christianity has to have a substance of action, you have to be set apart and act different from the world so you can let your light shine (Matthew 5:16).

So, today I hope as you read this that you found hope and truth and peace, along with a deeper understanding of what is going on in this hurting world. I hope you found the something you were looking for to make you keep going and to tell you that you are called to be set apart. Let today, right now be the moment you start to be set apart if you are not and if you are and you know that without a shadow of a doubt then I ask you that you would help others to learn how to live set apart.

I have three words I ask you to remember, maybe even write down somewhere, Be The Change.

God bless you all and have a wonderful day.
