Earthquakes
Can you believe the number of earthquakes we have experienced in the last few months?
January 12 – Haiti 7.0
March 2- Chili 8.8
April – Mexicali 7.2
April 13 – China 7.1
Wow all of this makes you think about Jesus words in Mark 13:7-9 NIV
…Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. {8} Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains. {9} "You must be on your guard.…
That passage is enough to make you think that the end times may be near, but read the passage that is in today’s reading from 2 Tim 3:1-7 NIV:
…But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. {2} People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, {3} without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, {4} treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-- {5} having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. {6} They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, {7} always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.
I am not sure which is more convicting?
