Pitfalls and Dangers Part One: Deceptions and Entanglements - Perilous Times, #2

In the Pitfalls and Dangers series, the last days as spoken about in 2 Timothy 3 are explored and dissected. Apostle Paul writes about such days being perilous, and we are certainly living in such a time. It will be a time which offers a great opportunity for the Church to fulfil the Great Commission, but it will also be a time of great danger, deception, and threats.  Perilous denotes something which holds danger; thus, some things will happen in the last days that will pose a danger to believers. At the same time, believers must also avoid such pitfalls lest they become perilous (a danger) to others. Perilous also speaks of great stress and trouble. These are indeed the days of great strife, apostasy, and deception, and more than ever, holding onto faith and God's truth has become of paramount importance. Wherever you turn, there are multitude of pitfalls and dangers to allure and tempt the believer away from the narrow road. This world has become spiritually dark, and it has become a spiritually dangerous place. The Bride of the Lord needs to walk in the Spirit of God to negate the entrapments, seductions, entanglements, and deceptions posed by the wide rod of carnality and demonic delights. Only in the truth of God and by His Spirit can the true Church be victorious in her divine mission.
