Today’s Thought “Unsanctioned Rhetoric” G. Ward

2 Timothy 3:1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. ² For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

 

Submission to the Truth of God’s Word most assuredly is opposite of mankind’s vain philosophy and always considerate in building others in view of the Savior’s pardon of sins for one’s own life. Moreover, this philosophical demand to love yourself is clearly anti-thetical to the Almighty’s commands and whereas HE delineates numerous adjectival pursuits from man, substantiating how our foolish ways perpetuate societal decay, we’ve become witnesses to this sad reality. Self-love is synonymous with selfishness, and cause to evil furthered. If ever any desire what should be their aim (in a spiritual sense) – study the life of the Magnificent Savior, then follow. Some are with immediate defense upon such a statement to proclaim, “No one is perfect” (as if that’s an epiphanizing reality), while comfortable with the cliché “strive for perfection.” Our Holy Father is never found with demand unto those HE created that furthers mediocrity, but dispels the highest standard that keeps us dependent (John 16:7-10).

Happy Friday!
