Love Is The Call

In II Timothy 3:1,2 it says, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, ..." In the last days some men will love themselves so much that they will have no regard for other people or their feelings. They are everywhere in society and never more prevalent than driving down the same streets that we are. They have no sense of treating others the way that they want to be treated and the way they feel that they should be treated. They just do their own thing all the time. Some would say that they are narcissistic in personality which means that they are vain, conceited, having big egos, and extremely selfish. Some characteristics of those having narcissistic personality disorder are: Inflated sense of self importance, belief that they are special, have a sense of entitlement, take advantage of others, lack empathy, envious of others, and behaves in an arrogant and haughty way. We won't have to look far to find people with this extreme self love. Our call is to love God with all that we have and love our neighbor as ourselves, and as we do this, we will stand out to those around us because we will be so different than most of society. Love is the call.
