I. “Perilous” = “Fierce” (2 Tim. 3: 1–5; compare Matt. 8: 28)
A. Absolutely certain to come
B. Three main factors:
1. Basic cause: degeneration of human character—any attempted solution that
bypasses this is ineffective
2. Corruption is irreversible—both physical and spiritual, therefore:
a. A new creation (2 Cor. 5: 17)
b. A new heaven and a new earth (2 Pet. 3: 13)
c. “I make all things new” (Rev. 21: 5)
d. Present social order doomed to perish under God’s judgment
3. The root: Love of self
Not resolved by “a form of godliness”
C. Statistics about one day in America (U.S. News & World Report)
D. But God . . .
1. The Holy Spirit raises a standard (Is. 59: 19[b])
2. Worldwide outpouring of Holy Spirit—emphasis on youth (Acts 2: 16–18)
II. How Should We Conduct Ourselves?
A. Recognize that all these things confirm the reliability of Scripture
B. Personally deal with the root of self-love
1. This is “the power of godliness” (2 Tim. 3: 5)
2. Deny self—lose our “soul” life (Matt. 16: 24–25)
3. Not loving our lives to the death (Rev. 12: 11)
C. Man’s extremity = God’s opportunity
1. Tribulation pressures can turn many to God (Rev. 7: 9–10, 13–14)
2. Men’s hearts failing them . . . (Luke 21: 26)
3. All things shaken—but our kingdom cannot be shaken (Heb. 12: 25–28)—but
we must be delivered from self-love
4. Ready to lose our life (Matt. 16: 24–25)
5. End time pressures—but Gospel to all nations (Matt. 24: 8–14)
D. Limitless opportunity to do good
1. . . . See your good works—God’s concern for the fatherless (Matt. 5:16); e.g.
by 2000 AD 10 million AIDS orphans in Africa
2. Pure religion: care for orphans and widows (James 1: 27)
a. Carried over from Old Testament
b. If every Christian family would adopt one parentless child . . . Don’t pour
out on a pet love that should go to a child
c. But two idols: Comfort and convenience
“Do something somebody!”
3. Are you willing to lose your life?
E. God’s ultimate purpose
1. His own special people (Tit. 2: 11–14)
2. The Lord is willing to wait (2 Pet. 3: 9)
3. Find and do God’s will (1 John 2: 17)
