We’re in the last days. “You thought times were hard before, get ready because they’re going to get even more difficult in the days ahead.” That’s essentially how 2 Timothy 3 begins. It’s a startling warning about the rise of false teachers, tricksters, imposters and people with ulterior motives who will lead many astray. It’s held in stark contrast to the steadfast way of life followers of Jesus are called to in the midst of that corruption. Not only will truth prevail, but we’ve been equipped with exactly what we need to stand firm and teach others to do the same.
