An Appearance of Godliness, But Denying Its Power | 2 Timothy 3:5

This sermon is not a repeat of our dissecting of the Secular Creed. Instead, I am aiming to focus on the actual text of 2 Timothy 3:5 through the particular focus of how it presently applies to secularism in our day. That is by no means the only application of that verse. In Paul’s own day, he was probably thinking about ascetics who thought they were godly through how rigorously they punished their bodies. Such asceticism has only an appearance of godliness, but it ultimately denies its power. Yet today that description applies very fittingly to secularism, which is the de facto worldview here in the West.
