Be Bold in Your Faith Part 4: The Spirit of Lawlessness
2 Timothy 3:1-5
Whether you're watching the news, scrolling through social media, or just observing what's happening in society, there's a growing trend that's impossible to ignore. It's a blatant disregard for authority that seems to be spreading like wildfire throughout our culture. As Christians, we should feel this disturbance in our Spirit. Do you feel it?
We see students openly defying teachers in classrooms. We see employees showing contempt for their supervisors. We see road rage and people filled with anger all around us. We see outright anarchy in the streets, angry mobs mocking and attacking law enforcement and government officials.
Abortion has been normalized, gender confusion abounds and school shootings have become the status quo. We even see children rebelling against their parents in ways that would have seemed unthinkable just a generation ago.
And perhaps most troubling of all, we see people within the church questioning biblical authority and redefining God's standards to fit their own preferences, and many more are walking away from the Lord and their faith altogether.
This isn't just a social problem or a political issue. What we're witnessing is something the Bible warned us about thousands of years ago. It's what Scripture calls "the spirit of lawlessness" and it's been working and active in the world since the very beginning.
This Sunday, we’ll examine the origins of lawlessness, what the Bible has to say about it and practical ways that we can stand firm against it.
I hope to see you there!
