Counterfeit Reality

Read:
2 Timothy 3:1-5,12-17

Evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. —2 Timothy 3:13

Bible In One Year: Nehemiah 4-6

When people see a photograph or video today, they often ask, "Is it real?" A home computer can manipulate images to create a picture of an event that never happened. Images can be inserted into or removed from photographs. A video can be doctored to make it appear that a person was caught committing a crime or performing an act of heroism. The camera may not lie, but the computer can.

Centuries before such modern technology, the apostle Paul warned Timothy about counterfeit reality in the church. He said that in the last days people would be self-absorbed, "having a form of godliness but denying its power" (2 Timothy 3:5). He repeatedly emphasized the need to live a godly life, warning that "evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived" (v.13).

Paul charged Timothy to "continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of" (v.14). True godliness honors and obeys God while its counterfeit seeks pleasure and personal gain. One pleases the Lord; the other gratifies natural desire. Both are identified by their actions.

When people hear us say we are Christians, they may wonder if our faith is real. Our lives will answer the question by reflecting the reality of Christ. —David McCasland

Dear Heavenly Father, Help me, I pray,
to honor You with all that I do today.
By Your Holy Spirit's power, may my words and actions
cause others to glorify Your Name. Amen.

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. —Matthew 7:18

You've got to love Old Geezers!

At sporting events, during the playing of the National Anthem, Old Geezers hold their caps over their hearts and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them.

Old Geezers remember World War I, the Depression,World War II, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Normandy and Hitler.

They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, The Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing,
not to mention Vietnam.

If you bump into an Old Geezer on the sidewalk,
he will apologize.

If you pass an Old Geezer on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady. Old Geezers trust strangers and are
courtly to women.

Old Geezers hold the door for the next person and always, when walking, make certain the lady is on the
inside for protection.

Old Geezers get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they don't like any
filth on TV or in movies.

Old Geezers have moral courage.

They seldom brag unless it's about their grandchildren.
It's the Old Geezers who know our great country
is protected, not by politicians or police,
but by the young men and women in
the military serving their country.

This country needs Old Geezers with their decent values.

We need them now more than ever.

Thank God for Old Geezers!
