TOPIC: SIGNS OF THE END TIME (PT SIX)
LOVERS OF PLEASURE MORE THAN LOVERS OF GOD - (2 Tim 3:4) "Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;"
If ever there was a time when people revealed themselves as pleasure crazy, that time is now!
A Pastor friend said "for the life of me, I don't see where people get pleasure in drinking and getting drunk. On the airplanes they use to ask you if you wanted a "Hail Mary" or "Bloody Mary" or something on the rocks, but I always said "No, but I'll have a Root Beer." I've watched the person sitting next to me as he got his "Bloody something" and make a sour face as he took a sip. I've leaned over and said, "If it's that bad, why do you drink it?" They look at me funny".
Drink and drunken drivers are a major problem these days. Every single day hundreds of people are killed by drunken drivers. Where's the pleasure in all this?
Then there's the gambling crowd. The lose and lose and lose, but still gamble away their money. Where on earth is the pleasure in all that?
The Bible speaks of the pleasure of sin for a season. (Heb 11:25) "Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;" So since God's Word does say "PLEASURES of sin", I suppose they get pleasure in doing so…but remember the last part of that verse, "FOR A SEASON." It doesn't last long. Some people take pleasure in killing every day, kidnapping innocent people and rob people of their belonging, many take pleasure in humanizing, pleasure in backbitten and all sort of things we have addict our Gods given time to.
I would rather live a good moral clean life and not take part in the so-called "pleasures of sin" and enjoy an eternity in Heaven with the Lord.
I would rather spend my time doing something that will last forever than to "enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season."
Brethren, this are part of the signs of end time, it is better will allow Jesus in to our life to give us new life which will have divine pleasure in the things of God that benefit,
Give your life to Jesus and you will be happy enternaly and heaven will be yours
LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, TAKE AWAY EVERY ADDICTION OF THE WORLD OUT OF US AND HELP US TO TAKE OUR PLEASURE IN YOU IN JESUS NAME
