"For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths." (2 Tim. 4:3-4,NLT) Paul wrote this to Timothy, and it is still relevant today. The things mentioned in our text are not far-fetched. We see them all around us. People don't desire the true unadulterated Word of God, but instead they would want to hear stories and lies. But the Bible says that, we should desire the sincere milk of the word, so that we may grow thereby. This is the reason for so many unmatured Christians in the Kingdom. People want quick fixes and answers and can't seem to wait on God and His promises in His Word. Unfortunately they hear exactly what they want to hear and get deceived. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Hold on tight to the Word and stand firm so that no one can mislead you with any false doctrine. AB@TWD
The Sovereign Lord has given me his words of wisdom, so that I know how to comfort the weary. Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will. (Isaiah 50:4)
