Are You a Surface Person, Living Selfishly

In this world today, people are pampering the weakness in their life instead of pursuing Christ. In these last days the men, women, and children will become selfish and disobedient, heady, lovers of unnatural affections for the opposite sex and warmongers.

The narrative of this planet reads like a sci-fi novel with a horrible end where everybody dies. The heart of man has waxed worse and is full of self-indulgence of the flesh.

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Timothy 3:1-7

The seventh verse of this chapter sums up this day and age. Man is always in search of new things, be it of the human body or technologically in the field of electronics or exploring deep space. Man is forever trying to find out how our Creator made things, but never what man’s purpose is or how to live according to God’s will and with their fellow man. The people of this age seem to have but one thing on their mind, and that is a life of self-indulgence. What’s even worse is that this way of thinking has found a home in the House of God where the lust of the mind has become common place among the so called Saints of the Lord. They’re backstabbing each other, down playing the significance of each other’s ministries, lording over God’s people, doing and saying all types of evil in their presence, and jockeying for positions of authority among the people of God. In this generation, we call that kissing up to the head; sometimes doing whatever it takes to get a leader to validate that they are somebody; somebody to listen to in Christendom so they can gain fame and a bank full of dead hypocrites, at the cost of destroying their brothers and sisters in Christ.

1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. 11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? 13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

James 4:1-17

So as you can see this world and the Church has slipped into a mind of selfishness and flesh with no regard for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and his crucifixion an resurrection. In my conclusion, remember this: if you didn’t get anything else we talked about, in this life, its not about you, its about Jesus Christ and His will for your life. In Jesus name, it is so!
