Unprepared for Dangerous Times

By John Fast

“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.” – 2 Timothy 3:1

There can be no denying that we live in perilous times. Our age is characterized by all the marks which the Bible declares make a season dangerous, including the proliferation of myths and illusions which lead the mind astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. One great illusion is the idea, fanatically propagated today, that the problems faced by contemporary evangelicalism are due to the unique nature of modern society. Read more »

The Blinding Strategy of Satan

By John Fast

“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.” – 2 Timothy 3:1

The deceiving of souls may be compared to the modern equivalent of the con-artist, namely, the scammer. Those who are aware of their danger and vulnerability to being scammed will take all the necessary precautions to prevent it; so will the person who is much afraid of being spiritually deceived. But alas, there are precious few who realize their danger of being deceived; rather they live in a dreamy false security totally oblivious of the danger to their souls. Read more »

The Necessity of a Persevering Faith

By John Fast

“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.” – 2 Timothy 3:1

It was a saying of Martin Luther, “Whom God intends to destroy, He gives them leave to play with Scripture.” The implications of this statement for the mass of professing Christianity today which does little else than play, toy, dabble, and tinker with Scripture in an attempt to mold and shape it to their own lusts, preferences, and presuppositions, deny its clear message and doctrines, give new meanings to old truths, and to justify their self-centered, worldly, and often heretical beliefs, practices, and lifestyles, is frightening.

The Comfort of a Persevering Faith

By John Fast

“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.” – 2 Timothy 3:1

Anyone who has been observing the current state of professing Christendom and the drift of the church, and who is not totally apathetic to the spiritual and moral decay of our times, cannot help but notice that we live in an age when uncertainty, conciliation, and compromise in matters of faith and doctrine is considered more Christian than dogmatism, exposing error, persevering in the truth, and contending earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3).
