“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.” 2Tim. 3:1 ESV
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” 2 Tim. 3:1 KJV
“But understand this, that in the last days dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear].” 2 Tim. 3:1 Amp. Bible
Jesus said to the Pharisees that they had made the word of God void with their traditions. Mark 7:13.🧐 Be careful that we don’t do the same thing with our doctrine, ideology, theology, or eschatology.🤔 One thing thing will always prove out,,, the word of God is true and will always win out in every argument. “By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, “That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged.” Rom. 3:4. Some of what passes as theology in western culture does not play out in the nations. We live in a very blessed nation by comparison and we tend to preach it safe and play it safe.
“Safe? Who said anything about being safe? ‘Course He isn’t safe. But He is good.” C.S. Lewis, Chronicles of Narnia.
Those who require safe conditions to preach the gospel may have to sit this one out. We have brothers and sisters in Christ who live in threat of their lives everyday.
“Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.” Acts 4:24-30
