Read 2 Timothy 3: 1-5 and it reads , But Mark this: There will be terrable times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobediant to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderious, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherious, rash, concieted, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- having a form of godliness but denying his power. Have nothing to do with them. 2.) What is the problem with the kind of religion or "ungodliness" described here? 3.) Come down to 2 Timothy 4:1-4 and read another description of powerless religion. 4.) Why would people ever substitute men's teachings for God's teaching on a subject? How do you think this tendancy might creep into your life? 5.) Why would carefully following God's message lead to powerful religion as opposed to powerless religion?
