Apostasy

I. Timothy 4:1 says that "Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons."  In other words people will leave the faith and actively work against the things of God.  Not just a falling away from the faith, but trying to destroy or malign the beliefs of Christians.  As a young man I knew people who weren't Christians, but would respect our faith and beliefs.  Today there is an absolute hatred and opposition of anything that is Christian.  We are experiencing a world wide culture war that is promoting anything that stands in opposition to the things of God.  Today we are ridiculed and told we are holding back the evolution of mankind.  Old fashioned and narrow minded are the nicest things that are said about the godly man or woman.  Apostasy is the outright fighting against that which is of God or pleases God.  Listen to TV or the movies and our politicians who constantly impugn our faith.  God help and forgive them.  I will stand for Christ and do not care one bit if I am old fashioned or out of touch.  Being In Christ, means I have no desire to please this world or the things of the world.  God Bless!  Get ready to fly!!
