To Whom Do We Have To Remain True?

I happened upon a medal today that was in someones possession and it had inscribed on it, "To thine own self be true"...it sickened me...There is one to whom we are to be true, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ... Everything in the world today it seems is self oriented ...self first self second and if there is anything over...self again... Oh my, so many are ill prepared for what is upon us. So few are willing to lay down their lives for the Lord, let alone for their brothers and sisters. Its all about.."But what's in it for me?".... selflessness went out with hooped skirts it seems.

Hearts are so hard these days, even amongst so called Christians, people are so inwardly focused that it is startling .... yet we are told that these days would come:

2 Timothy 3:1-5

1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Matthew 7:12-14

12. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

13. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Many hold bitterness and unforgivness in them, be quick to forgive saints, don't allow any bitterness to grow in you, for it will not only defile you, but those around you. If you hold unforgiveness you will hinder your own prayers and you will not be forgiven of your sins.

Hold fast to your faith dear saints.
