They told you that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires. These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God’s Spirit in them.
– Jude 18-19(NLT)
BEWARE OF SCOFFERS
A poem and essay by ILMA
When someone scorns you or puts you down
Run to Jesus Christ who is God’s one and only Son
Scoffers will satisfy their own ungodly desires
They create conflicts and make people cry.
Scoffers follow their natural instincts
They believe in lies and continually sin
Be careful that you don’t get dragged by them
They usually point fingers at others and blame.

We were warned in the bible that in the end days, there will be a lot of scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires. They are the source of divisions among God’s people. They don’t live spiritual lives and are prompted by their natural instincts. They are similar to animals who live only based on instincts. They just gratify their own desires and do not care about how they get it. They are so wrapped up in getting what they want and devoid of what it does to others. They couldn’t care less if they hurt someone as long as they satisfy their flesh. Beware of these scoffers. Don’t let them pull you down.
