Sign of the Times.
Sign of the Times.
(1) ...in the last days...
(2) men shall be...
(3) despisers of those that are good
(2 Tm. 3:1-5).
2 Timothy 3:1-5
(1) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
(2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
(3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
(4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
(5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Isaiah 5:20-23
(20) Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
(21) Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
(22) Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
(23) Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Check out my article that says God makes His people good and His people do good works.
Moral uprightness was highly esteemed, but the times, they are a changing. Goodness is scorned, while nastiness is embraced and defended. Just speak up for decency and see what happens. Even some Christians deny and ridicule personal goodness in other believers.
