But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, concilable, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers and God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
As we can see from the writings of Timothy. We are in the Last days. The subject of Sin is not a popular subject. People do not want to be reminded there is a price for sin. There is no reverance for the Church. Teachings of feel good and God's grace messages. But the Blood of Jesus and the Cross is only taught on certain days. This is why we are seeing some of the character flaws not only in the world but now in the Church. One particular thing I am noticing is the talebearer in the Church. Some people of God will side with a talebearer rather than with someone speaking the truth. Getting on the Hell-ophone and tearing down their Church and Pastor. The Hebrew word translated Gossip as " One who tells secrets, talebearer." people are finding it easy to tear down another to exalt themselves. In Matt 12: 36 [ ESV] I tell you that people will have to answer on Judgement day for every useless word they speak.
Its time for us to examine our hearts. Ask God for forgivness, seek His face more than ever. Tell people the truth don't side with unrighteousness. Tell people there is no peace without Jesus. There is no RIP if they did not repent of their sins and accept Jesus. Stop looking at people and look to Jesus. The people you are looking at could have repented and moved on in God. And you are still looking at someone else sins and not see yours. A trick of the enemy. So as we can see everyone of these characteristics are here and alive in the body of Christ. Judgement in the Church is here...... God Help Us.
