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.
For among them are those who enter into households (blogs?) and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2Timothy 3:1-7

What exactly brought that about?!
I will heed the warning that I believe I am hearing.
That is why I took that one line out of one of your comments to me and posted it.
I was hungry for the advise of others and seeking it in blog land. Your comment stated that I would stand accountable before God, not my peers.
I have often been told that I am teachable. I took it as a positive praise. Now I look in hind sight at my life and listen to my self whine and have to seriously ask: am I "always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth"?
I obviously took this post personal to me; not personal from you. So I ask again what generated it?
Are you asking if this post is specifically meant for you, dear Friend?
No. Of course not. Not specifically.
But I often feel that way too; I often wonder why the Lord brought these many dozens or even hundreds of women to a Bible study just so He could teach me some Truth or principle from His Word. His Word is living and breathing like that! And miraculously, it speaks to each of His children that personally.
Blessings to you Robin.
Goodness. Thinking... and heading to my Bible for some living, breathing Truth! Thank you for the direction...
"Funny" how I read this thinking of how it applied to me and a current situation. Sharper than a two-edged sword. :)
timely & convicting
The Truth needs no further support from me. Thanks.
