1 & 2 Timothy Sample

It’s disheartening to read this list of what people will be like in the last days, yet it shows me that as society gets darker, we as Christians have an amazing opportunity to shine brighter. We don’t have to be like the world. Actually, we shouldn’t! Christ is who compels us to go from lovers of self to lovers of God. Instead of being proud and arrogant, we have an opportunity to show what it looks like to be humble and live for something greater than ourselves. Instead of finding our worth in our bank accounts, job titles, or religious activities, we find our worth in Him. Instead of appearing to be religious on the outside, we throw off legalism and exchange it for our relationship with Christ. 

Dear Jesus,

Help me to be salt and light in an ever increasing dark world. Instead of getting discouraged by what I see around me, empower me to make a difference. Help me to stay focused on You and not distracted by the world. Amen.
