But know this: Difficult times will come in the last days. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to the form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid these people!
2 Timothy 3:1-5
When sin abounds life becomes exceedingly difficult. In the wake of sin even the righteous suffer. Lot suffered because of the sin around him. The poisonous snake of sin always bites with venom after the temptation is successful.
A man never really comes to hate sin until it has wrecked havoc among those he loves. Love indeed opens your eyes and heart to the pain and nastiness of sin.
As you seek the Lord with all your heart don't be surprised by the turbulence. Sin, all sin is wicked and evil and destroys even the most beautiful among us. Never forget that when Jesus died upon the Cross he paid the price for the first sin of Adam and Eve as well as the one that is wrecking your life! Let the Cross do it's work in you!
