Jesus said, “In the last days, there will be many mislead deeds”. And the verse above is the evidence. Never think that the people described above is secular people who don’t go to church and all of their work is to please themselves. Look at the verse 5-7.

They are christian too. But they astrayed by the gods of this age.
Some of them go into people’s houses and gain control over weak women who are burdened by the guilt of their sins and driven by all kinds of desires, women who are always trying to learn but who can never come to know the truth.
What makes it worse is, that people wander through family to family (it means from community to community) to mislead weak women (it means young christian whose not too deep in knowledge of the truth). Horrible, isn’t it?
There are 3 way we can do against it:
- Proverb 3:6 “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding”. We must have a really-really true understanding on the truth, not our own understanding, but from God.
- In 2 Tim 3:5 “from such turn away”. Never have a relationship with person like that with any reason. Even my experience prove that if we have a relationship with them, we will slugged into their lifestyle.
- In 2 Tim 3:16-17 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works”. We have God’s weapon, His Words!!!
