The Apostle Paul warned Timothy, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come" and, "... evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived" (2 Timothy 3:1, 13). We are living in perilous and perplexing days, ones in which many people who love the Lord are being faced with issues designed to confuse and mislead.

An important aspect of the Christian life is to "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" (Jude 3).

Paul urged the church at Ephesus to "take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand" (Ephesians 6:13). He instructed the church at Rome to "mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them" (Romans 16:17).

It is with this instruction in mind that we present current issues Christians are facing, with the prayer that it will help someone from being deceived by those who are tools of the great deceiver, Satan.
