The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

2 Timothy 3:1-7, “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; avoid such men as these.
6 For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

Does is seem to you that every day’s news brings forth a new avalanche of evil? Much of it is doubtlessly encouraged by intentional news reporting; yet the fact remains that what is being reported has long been viewable in the Scriptures.

In no way am I seeking to trouble you readers of this letter; the facts are simply undeniable. Many leaders that once seemed reliable are now not to be trusted! We have inched our way into deeper sin leaving the Word of God to the dustbins of history.

We are plagued by diseases and then intentionally misdirected with regard to the medication needed to resist them! Pseudo drugs hit the market, producing millions of dollars for some who were once-trusted to guide us back into good health. Who knows whom to trust in these turbulent times?

There was a time when spiritual leaders were themselves trustworthy. Today, the open knowledge of pastoral thirst for riches, personal indiscretions (with retention in their pulpits) creates a serious difficulty for honest, spiritual seekers. Who can they trust?

Anyone who denies that we are living in the Last Days, as described in Scripture, is simply lacking the basic ability of discernment. Far too many pulpits are occupied by those who want to keep pace with the excessive profit that robs the poor in the name of religion. May God grant us all the good sense to read and absorb and live by His Divine Word! It is by that Word alone that we will one day be judged!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
