This Also Know....Perilous Days

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

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,

despisers of those that are good,

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

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

For of this sort are they which creep into houses,

and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

2 Tim. 3:1-7

 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures through all generations.
The LORD is trustworthy in all he promises
 and faithful in all he does.
Psalm 145:13

Above prayer from Sermons and Prayers by Peter Marshall

These perilous days are here

Of Ignorance without fear

A world of youth blind to the Truth

And ears that do not hear

These perilous days have come

Of hearts haughty and numb

So cold to God, bold to applaud

 Evil’s appalling sum

These perilous days will pass

But oh, alas, alas

To those who think that they can wink

At death and die as grass

These perilous days are grim

Still, all who trust in Him

Can know for sure, Hope is secure

Though hope seems dark and dim

These perilous days are here

Of doubt, hate, godless fear

Still, God of grace will help us face

These days…He remains near

These perilous, perilous days

Cannot annul the praise

To Holy God from sky, sea, sod

Attuned to mercy’s gaze

Then pray, before the toll  

That severs skin and soul

We have believed and thus received

Through  grace, the Victor’s goal
