I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he comes to set up his Kingdom: Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching. For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths. But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you. (2 Timothy 4:1-5 NLT) Six Last-Day Characteristics ---------------------------------------------- 1. They will not endure sound doctrine (2Tim. 4:3). 2. They will increase in lusts and sin (2Tim. 4:3). 3. They will add one teacher to another, or wander about from church to church to find those who will not insist on their getting rid of sins and sinful pleasures (2Tim. 4:3). 4. They will having itching ears, desire speakers who will tickle their ears and excuse their passions in the name of religion. 5. They will turn away their ears from truth which strips them of sin and demands their wholehearted consecration to Christ (2Tim. 4:4). 6. They will turn to fables and false religions that pamper the flesh and condone sin.
