Beloved, I submit to you that It is not what the church expects of a Christian, it is not what the pastor expects, but what God Almighty expects that matters.

In Markโฌ โญ4โฌ:โญ2โฌ, โญ4โฌ-โญ9โฌ โญAMPโฌโฌ, Jesus gave examples of different sowers.
โAnd He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said to them,
and as he was sowing, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and ate it up.
Other seed fell on rocks where there was not much soil; and immediately a plant sprang up because the soil had no depth. And when the sun came up, the plant was scorched; and because it had no root, it dried up and withered away.
Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no grain.
And other seed fell into good soil, and as the plants grew and increased, they yielded a crop and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundred times [as much as had been sown].โ
And Jesus said, โHe who has ears to hear, let him hear and heed My words.โโ

โBut understand this, that in the last days dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear].
For people will be lovers of self [narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money [impelled by greed], boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane,
[and they will be] unloving [devoid of natural human affection, calloused and inhumane], irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of self-control [intemperate, immoral], brutal, haters of good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of [sensual] pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith].
Avoid such people and keep far away from them.โ
