CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL WISELY!

10-6-2010. . . .CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL WISELY!

"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,  without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- having a form of godliness but denying its power.   Have nothing to do with them." (2 Tim 3:1-5 NIV)  It is perfectly all right to separate ourselves from certain people.  In fact, it is imperative that we have nothing to do with them! This is not a sanction for believers to place ourselves above anyone, it does however, set a clear standard for association and inter-action.   We can't run with turkeys and also sore with eagles.  They operate on different levels.   In these last days, choose your level wisely!

Prayer: Lord, give us wisdom to choose our level wisely.  Help us to love everybody while being selective about those with whom we associate and interact with.  Amen!

2 Tim 3:1-5. . . .You may as well know this too, Timothy, that in the last days it is going to be very difficult to be a Christian.   For people will love only themselves and their money; they will be proud and boastful, sneering at God, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful to them, and thoroughly bad.  They will be hardheaded and never give in to others; they will be constant liars and troublemakers and will think nothing of immorality. They will be rough and cruel, and sneer at those who try to be good.  They will betray their friends; they will be hotheaded, puffed up with pride, and prefer good times to worshiping God.   They will go to church, yes, but they won't really believe anything they hear. Don't be taken in by people like that. TLB
