When things get worse

 by David Long

"But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Tim. 3:13-7). 

What do we do when things just get worse? We do what Paul told Timothy to do, "continue in the things we have learned and been assured of." We continue in the holy scriptures. Even if it means persecution (2 Tim. 3:12).
