I am going to declare
Mondays as “meditation Mondays” and after careful prayer, will select a Bible
passage which I will present by itself, no commentary, etc. for you to keep in
mind and ponder throughout the day. Here is the one I felt led to share today.
2 Timothy 3: 1-9
Do not forget this:
there will be terrible times in the last days. Men will be lovers of self and
of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful,
profane, inhuman, implacable, slanderous, licentious, brutal, hating the good.
They will be treacherous, reckless, pompous, lovers of pleasure rather than of
God as they make a pretense of religion but negate its power. Stay clear of
them. It is such as these who worm their way into homes and make captives of
silly women burdened with sins and driven by desires of many kinds, always
learning but never able to reach a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and
Jambres (the magicians of Egypt)
opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth; with perverted minds they falsify
the faith. But they will not get very far, as with those two men, the stupidity
of these will be plain for all to see. You, for your part,
must remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know
who your teachers were. Likewise, from your infancy you have known the sacred
Scriptures, the source of the wisdom which through faith in Jesus Christ leads
to salvation. All Scripture is inspired of God and is useful for teaching – for
reproof, correction, and training in holiness so that the man of God may be
fully competent and equipped for every good work.
