Lessons

This lesson was given on June 22, 1986 and was part 1 of the “Signs of the Times” study.  This lesson discusses the need for christians to recognize the time of their calling.  We are told to understand the days of our visitation, and most christians today are looking for the rapture and the Lord’s return. However, we are told to study the word and discern the signs of the times. The scripture reading was given in 1 Timothy 4:1-6; 13 KJV “1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.”
