The Traditions Of Men

                                                          2 Timothy 3:1-5 

But understand this: there will be terrifying times in the last days. People will be self-centered and lovers of money, proud, haughty, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, irreligious, callous, implacable, slanderous, licentious, brutal, hating what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, as they make a pretense of religion but deny its power. Reject them.

Update:  Nov. 10th, I had to add this quote from this post.

A movement that receives its identity from protesting is likely to prolong its survival by finding smaller and more insignificant things to protest. 

Again….think about it!
