What:

But evil men and imposters will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
YIKES! Are we there yet?
How to counter this:
2 Timothy 3:14-17
You however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them; and then from childhood you have known the sacred writings, which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 4:2-5
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom:
Are we there yet?

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus; who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
Do all this and you will be there…with Him, for eternity.
Amen and amen…God is with us.
