I Would Not Have You Be Ignorant Brethren ...
"In the last days, perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of
their own selves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self control, brutal,
despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers
of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power."
2 Timothy 3:1-5
"Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they
received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see
whether these things were so."
Acts 17:11 (NASB)
