“In the last days…men will be lovers of self.” Then follows a whole list of characteristics that, at their core, come from a kind of twisted self love. Read the list that follows. It is all about unhealthy self love. Lord, keep my essential self centered in You and my self will be well. My desire is that my self would seek to serve You and not seek to serve itself. I renounce my claim to me and give me over to You. You alone are worthy of my heart’s full allegiance. Amen!
“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these” 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (NASB).
