"Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron." I Tim. 4:2-3
As the First Century moved nearer a close the Holy Spirit caused Paul to write Timothy the words of the Bible shown above.
Of course there has never been a season when some have not drifted away from God.
But without reservation you and I have never lived in a time when Paul's prophetic words were more relevant than this very day.
Take a look at statistics concerning Christianity in America.
Compare the most recent 75 years to see a drift that is nearing a flood tide of diminishing numbers of professing Christians and "out of business" churches in what 75 years ago was the Bible Belt where brand new churches were under construction to accomodate increasing numbers of people.
The proof is astounding.
Is it enough to wake up the sleeping church?
