Assurance of Victory in Faith

In this keynote from TGC’s 2009 National Conference, K. Edward Copeland examines 2 Timothy 3:1–9 to address the dangers of self-centeredness, superficial godliness, and a diluted gospel in the last days. He warns that misdirected love—where people prioritize themselves over God—will infiltrate even the church, leading to a form of religion that lacks true power. Copeland calls pastors to reject performance-based ministry and instead faithfully proclaim the truth of the gospel through the power of the Holy Spirit.
