Mr. Temporary?

 (ID: 3090)

In the conclusion of Paul’s second letter to Timothy, we learn that Paul had been deserted by his formerly committed friend, Demas. Demas’s actions were motivated by a deeper problem: he had come to love this world and had cast aside his love for Jesus. Like Demas, all Christians have the potential to fall away from our commitment to Christ. Alistair Begg points us to an example to avoid as he urges us to turn away from sin and persevere in obedience to God, our Savior.
