“For God has not given us a spirit of fear,
But of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

Jesus is Alive!
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. John 11:25-26
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:8-11
In Silent Adoration
In silent adoration,
I stand in awe of you, oh God.
With holy inspiration,
I sip and sap with you.
I drink your living waters,
I eat your bread of life,
While basking in your presence
Amid a world of strife.

In the Last Days
2 Timothy 3:1-9
But understand this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, savage, opposed to what is good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God.
They will maintain the outward appearance of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these. For some of these insinuate themselves into households and captivate weak women who are overwhelmed with sins and led along by various passions. Such women are always seeking instruction, yet never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these people—who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith—also oppose the truth.
But they will not go much further, for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone, just like it was with Jannes and Jambres.
