Monday
2 Timothy 3:1
In the last days there will be very difficult times.
Tuesday
2 Timothy 3:2
For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at You, God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.
Wednesday
2 Timothy 3:3
They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control; they will be cruel and have no interest in what is good.
Thursday
2 Timothy 3:4
They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than You, God.
Friday
2 Timothy 3:5
They will act as if they are religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. You must stay away from people like that.
Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers
3901. When speaking, do not target your speech to the bystanders but to those for whom your speech is meant.
3902. The great preacher makes a simple subject easy to understand instead of complicating it.
3903. The sermon that you would enjoy the most is not likely to be the one that will do you the most good.
3904. The sinner in the pew will not be cleansed by soap in the pulpit.
3905. If the pastor is good, he deserves a four-week vacation--if he is not, the congregation deserves it.
