season 06 | “2 timothy: you can’t fake the fruit”

Scripture

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. - 2 Timothy 3:1-5 NIV

“Love your neighbor as yourself.” – Matthew 22:39 NIV

“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’” This is the first and greatest commandment. – Matthew 22:37 NIV

They’ll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they’re animals. Stay clear of these people. – 2 Timothy 3:5 MSG

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.  All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,  so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. – 2 Timothy 3:14-17 NIV
