Question: What leads the list? by David Harwood

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, 
holding to a form of godliness
(although they have denied its power); 
Avoid such men as these.
(2 Timothy 3:1-5)

What leads the list?

Why?
