Stay Clear

2 Timothy 3:1-5
Don't be naive. There are difficult times ahead. As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. They'll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they're animals. Stay clear of these people.

Be warned. The Bible says to stay clear of these kind of people. If you look at this list we are all guilty of some of these sins. I think he is saying to stay clear of the ones that are closed in their heart, the ones that are not searching for anything better. Their walls are up and their walls are thick. They have closed off their hearts and minds to what God wants for them. Notice here, they are allergic to God, but make a show of religion. In this country many peolpe confuse religiousness with holiness, but they are not the same. So watch for those that call themselves "holy" but are "animals".
