CENTRAL THOUGHT The absence of Natural Affection is indicative of a decaying society awaiting God’s judgement. TEXT: 2 Timothy 3:1-3; Romans 12:9-12 INTRODUCTION One of the features of the end-time that is gaining prominence both in the world and amongst Christians is the issue of indifference to the plight of others. Simply put, the vice of “neighborliness” is far replacing the virtue of “neighborliness” as taught by the Lord Jesus Christ, Luke 10:29-37. The center point of the gospel is love…. “For God so loved the world (of sinners) that He gave his only begotten son…”, John 3:16. Concerns for mankind, demonstration of compassion and the provision of relief to those in distress characterized the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ. Since man is the only creature that God made after His very image and likeness, He expects that the activities of every Christian should revolve around the love of God expressed to man. We therefore cannot love God if we hate the man (or our neighbor) that was created after His image and likeness, 1 John 4:21. End-time events show that most men and women are getting less concerned about the plight of their fellow human beings, be they Christians or unbelievers. Nothing is big, valuable,...

Learn MoreCENTRAL THOUGHT All forms of unholy living will attract God’s judgement. TEXT: 2 Timothy 3:2 INTRODUCTION A closer look at the events in our society today will reveal how the devil is mounting pressure on people to lower moral standards and holy living so as to distance them from God. The worrisome aspect of the growth of sinful living is that Satan’s deception is not restricted to the unbelieving larger society alone. Some churches and their leaders are getting increasingly infested by this “end time bug” of “it doesn’t matter” mentality, which condones and compromises unholy, sinful, lifestyles. It is indeed increasingly becoming difficult to distinguish some Christians from unbelievers as a result of similarities in their lifestyles. The aim of Satan in this regard is very clear. He knows fully well that this time (reign), is running out and that the second coming of Christ is closer than ever. Satan would therefore want to keep people from meeting God’s standards through unholy living, and for believers, he would work relentlessly to de-emphasize the place and importance of holiness. However, holiness remains and all-time standard that God demands of his children as a condition for pleasing Him and for gaining access to His kingdom, 1...
