I. āPerilousā = āFierceā (2 Tim. 3: 1ā5; compare Matt. 8: 28)
A. Absolutely certain to come
B. Three main factors:
1. Basic cause: degeneration of human characterāany attempted solution that
bypasses this is ineffective
2. Corruption is irreversibleāboth physical and spiritual, therefore:
a. A new creation (2 Cor. 5: 17)
b. A new heaven and a new earth (2 Pet. 3: 13)
c. āI make all things newā (Rev. 21: 5)
d. Present social order doomed to perish under Godās judgment
3. The root: Love of self
Not resolved by āa form of godlinessā
C. Statistics about one day in America (U.S. News & World Report)
D. But God . . .
1. The Holy Spirit raises a standard (Is. 59: 19[b])
2. Worldwide outpouring of Holy Spiritāemphasis on youth (Acts 2: 16ā18)
II. How Should We Conduct Ourselves?
A. Recognize that all these things confirm the reliability of Scripture
B. Personally deal with the root of self-love
1. This is āthe power of godlinessā (2 Tim. 3: 5)
2. Deny selfālose our āsoulā life (Matt. 16: 24ā25)
3. Not loving our lives to the death (Rev. 12: 11)
C. Manās extremity = Godās opportunity
1. Tribulation pressures can turn many to God (Rev. 7: 9ā10, 13ā14)
2. Menās hearts failing them . . . (Luke 21: 26)
3. All things shakenābut our kingdom cannot be shaken (Heb. 12: 25ā28)ābut
we must be delivered from self-love
4. Ready to lose our life (Matt. 16: 24ā25)
5. End time pressuresābut Gospel to all nations (Matt. 24: 8ā14)
D. Limitless opportunity to do good
1. . . . See your good worksāGodās concern for the fatherless (Matt. 5:16); e.g.
by 2000 AD 10 million AIDS orphans in Africa
2. Pure religion: care for orphans and widows (James 1: 27)
a. Carried over from Old Testament
b. If every Christian family would adopt one parentless child . . . Donāt pour
out on a pet love that should go to a child
c. But two idols: Comfort and convenience
āDo something somebody!ā
3. Are you willing to lose your life?
E. Godās ultimate purpose
1. His own special people (Tit. 2: 11ā14)
2. The Lord is willing to wait (2 Pet. 3: 9)
3. Find and do Godās will (1 John 2: 17)
