2 Timothy 3:10–14

Enough of the negatives! The apostle Paul has gone to great lengths to help us all understand the depths of depravity. He offers no fewer than 19 characteristics that comprise “difficult times” as he paints the scene of society in dark shades and ugly shadows. But enough of that! It’s time to emphasize the positive. What can we do to make a real impact in a world like ours?

We start by understanding the value of being men and women of God, who face the raw reality of our times . . . yet refuse to allow all of that to squeeze us into the world’s mold. Accomplishing that all-important pursuit means we must focus on the goal, then come to terms with what it takes to get there. When we do, there is nothing to keep us from making a lasting difference.
