2 Tim.4:3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
When you exchange the truth of the bible for what seems good to you, unsound teaching follows. God's Word tells us that our hearts are not to be trusted.
Jer.17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?
We are charged, before God and Jesus to preach the truth!
2 Tim. 4:1-2 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
We have this very thing happening today. When a man who is lusting after other men stands in the pulpit as a teacher of God's holy Word, the truth has been exchanged for a lie. For God's word says plainly: 1 Cor.6:9-10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
But, praise God, there is hope, in repentance for all sinners. So we can not judge but God will and does! 1Cor.6:11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
How can we serve a God we do not know? You must study His Word to know Him!
Lord, You are so good! Teach us Your word so we may teach others. Not our opinions but only Your truth. Let us love all and not judge but speak the truth. You are our hope and our life. Amen
