P’s and Q’s : II Timothy 3:1-7
“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God…” (verses 1-4)

Name the top five ways you “wire your brain” in order of how much time you spend on each, through your eyes or ears (i.e. school, smartphone, etc.).
