But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days…
2 Timothy 3:1
always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.
2 Timothy 3:7
The Person Who Understands
“The person who understands the evil in his own heart
is the only person who is useful, fruitful, and solid
in his beliefs and obedience.
Others only delude themselves and thus upset families,
churches, and all other relationships. In their self-pride
and judgment of others, they show great inconsistency.”
John Owen (1616-1683)
My Cry
He said:
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation.
He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—
from violent men you save me.
I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.
The waves of death swirled about me; the torrents
of destruction overwhelmed me.
The cords of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me.
In my distress I called to the Lord;
I called out to my God.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came to his ears.
2 Samuel 22: 2-7
A Week Comes and A Week Goes
Bloodthirsty men hate a man of integrity and seek to kill the upright.
A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself
under control.
Proverbs 29: 10,11
The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives
sight to the eyes of both.
Proverbs 29:13
The righteous detest the dishonest; the wicked detest the upright.
Proverbs 29:27
A Time of Trouble
If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength!
Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering
toward slaughter.
If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs
the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each
person according to what he has done?
Proverbs 24: 10-12
