2 Timothy 3-Don't be naive, There are difficult times ahead. As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. They'll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they're animals. Stay clear of these people.
Jeremiah 9-10- But listen! Something's coming! A big commotion from the northern borders! Judah's towns about to be smashed, left to all the stray dogs and cats!
Psalm 123-We've been kicked around long enough, Kicked in the teeth by complacent rich men, kicked when we're down by arrogant brutes.
Hebrews 9.11-14-Now we can serve the living God and no longer do things that lead to death.

A different point of view. An observation of this world from a different point of view. Paul tells us not to be naive. Sometimes is will be difficult. The end is approaching. People may not always be nice. Some may act like animals. Watch out for these people. Don't become like them but point them to the source of life in Jesus. Listen! Something's coming! Watch the point of view I take. Jeremiah was constantly trying to tell the Israelites a different point of view. Telling them to give up the gods they had created and set up. Change their point of view and re-direct to the source of life in Jesus. A different point of view. Kicked and knocked around by arrogant brutes. Don't take their point of view. Point them to the source of life in Jesus. Now we can serve the living God and take a different point of view, no longer doing things that lead to death but doing things that point to the source of life in Jesus.

Lord, keep my point of view directed to the Source of Life in Jesus. ---Amen
