Today's Scripture *June 30, 2008*
2 Timothy 4: 3-5
For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.They will reject the truth and chase after myths.
But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don't be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.
Many speakers, teachers, and writers talk about the pursuit of knowledge. But often they don't want knowledge; they want power. Such people won't listen to "sound and wholesome teaching". Instead, they "reject the truth and chase after myths". You can see this everywhere--from liberal churches to university campuses to self-help books crowding out our modern bookstores. People claiming to have a bit more enlightenment than what the dusty old Bible has to say; people claiming to improve on God's Words. Such people have several things in common:
(1) They do not tolerate the truth. They have no interest or respect for absolute truth or any standard for judgement.
(2) They reject truth for sensationalism. They want truth that fits their situation and makes sense for them. What they feel, what works for them, what seems compelling--that is their truth and they claim an absolute right to it. No one should even attempt to tell them differently.
(3) They gather view points to fit their selfish desires. Although they profess objectivity, their only defense for their view points is that those view points suit their desires.
Such teachers have a following because they are telling people "whatever their itching ears want to hear". These people are following myths. Be careful. False teaching can be found in many places--even inside the doors of some churches. Like Timothy, you must "keep a clear mind in every situation". And seek God's Word for the truth, above all else!
Father God, we praise Your Holy Name!
May we walk in Your Truth! Seeking Your Word and it's directions for our lives, above all else.
Lord, help us to keep a clear mind in every situation. Working hard to share with others the Good News!
In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless you this new week friends!
Have a safe July!
Your Sister in Him,
April
