Scripture to Read: 2 Timothy 3:6-7
As we read 2 Timothy 3:6-7, we find that these morally corrupt people, in the “last days,” will also prey on morally, spiritually weak women. These are ladies who are weighed down with the cares of this life, with sins that are defeating them, and who are easily swayed by the lusts of their flesh and minds (Galatians 5:19-21 and 1 John 2:16-17). These women are seeking after knowledge but they keep missing God’s Truth. We see this today, especially in our country. These spiritually and morally weak women choose to follow popular female talk show hosts like Oprah Winfrey, Tyra Banks, the ladies on “The View,” Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, and others just like them. All of these women have “entered into households and captivated weak women weighed down with sins.” Most of these women on their shows teach nothing but worldly garbage and then claim their words as truth. As believers, we have to proclaim God’s Truth, come alongside these spiritually and morally weak ladies, and help them see that their comfort, joy, contentment, purpose, self-worth, and so much more can only be found through a vibrant relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. God calls us to comfort those who need to be comforted and that true comfort is found in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:3-5). We have to be sure and guard our own lives as well so that we do not get caught up in letting false teachings creep into our lives through famous people in our world today.
