Difficult Times in the Last Days


We have heard from Jesus and Peter, now we will hear from Paul. 
Does not the following line up with what we are seeing in our culture?

“But understand this, that in the last days there will be times of 
difficulty. For people will be:

Lovers of self,
Lovers of money,
Proud,
Arrogant,
Abusive,
Disobedient to their parents,
Ungrateful,
Unholy,
Heartless,
Unappeasable,
Slanderous,
Without self-control,
Brutal,
Not loving good,
Treacherous,
Reckless,
Swollen with conceit,
Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. 
Avoid such people.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

“How then should we live?”   
This is a quote from Frances Schaeffer, who was teaching in 
Switzerland when I was a college student back in the 60’s. 
He said that the philosopher speaks to the first generation; 
the next generation absorbs it, followed by the generation who lives it.
