A friend recently reminded me of the dangers of the last days. May you not find this to be the case in your household during the celebration of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany. Praying for the Father to grant the Body of Christ the grace through the ministry of the Word & Spirit to truly be salt, light, and leaven during dark times given a happy-faced veneer. . . .

You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that! -- II Timothy 3:1 - 5
