Our perilous, self-absorbed times

Every time I see something on TV or in the newspaper about people taking “selfies” with their phones, I am reminded of the Bible verse from 2 Timothy chapter 3, verses 1 and 2: “This know also in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves.”

It is something to think about.
