2Timothy 3:1-9 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. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

Signs of the Last Days: More and more people will become…
* Self-centered: lovers of self, wealth, and pleasure
* Arrogant and proud:
* Godless: blasphemers, unthankful, unholy, empty-religionists
* Relationally toxic: disobedient to parents, trucebreakers, false accusers, without natural affection
* Unruly: Incontinent, fierce, haters of good, traitors, heady or reckless
* Misled: Women today being misled more than in the past, people are ever learning but staying spiritually blind;

Applications: To avoid becoming like wicked men, we must…
* Know that God will reveal false teachers for who they are
* Turn away from sinful reprobates; don’t allow wickedness affect the culture of the local churches
* Follow the examples of faithful, godly men
* Expect trouble to come; don’t be blindsided by opposition and attack
* Cheer up… things will only get worse and worse!
* Stay faithful in Truth!
