How do you live sacrificially in a world full of selfishness? Paul speaks to Timothy about the last days, the final stage in human history before the second coming of Christ. The last days, he says, are characterized by great selfishness; a characteristic we can clearly see in our world today. The problem is that our way of thinking is completely contradictory to God's. While our culture claims that loving self is the key to happiness, God puts forth that we were created for the purpose of loving others. As representatives of a counter-cultural God, we should be characterized by our kindness and love of others.
