This morning I was reading 2 Timothy, Paul’s letter to Timothy to encourage him in his ministry. But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not…
