But Having Itching Ears
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

That Through the Scriptures We Might Have Hope
Romans 15:4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
2 Tim.3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness
2 Peter 1:20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation.
2 Peter 1:21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
The bible was inspired by God's divine authority through the Holy Spirit. The bible was given to us as a guide to eternal life. There is no other book in the world that can show us the truth of Christ and His salvation! If you are an unbeliever, you will spend eternity forever separated from holy God without seeking to know His will for you. The bible has the truth for eternal life! Christ paid the price for your sin debt and He is calling you to repentance.
Sweet Jesus, how many will listen to Your Words today and find the truth? We have many brothers and sisters who are ready to receive the Word if You will but open their hearts. Let them see the hope that is found only in following and serving You. You are the way to eternal life and You will be found if we earnestly seek You. Help their lack of belief ! Amen

Your Grace Is Sufficient For Me
Satan pursues, he is every mindful of your sinful rebellion and he will not flee except by your stand on God's Word! Yes, we live in a fallen world. Yes, Satan is the king of this world. But Jesus has overcome the world and we are in His care. Satan is there, in your head, telling you lies, trying to make you fall into temptation. When things around you turn to chaotic, the devil is close. God is watching to see if you will stand on Him or fall.
Jer.17:7 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD.
2 Cor.12:9-10 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.God's Word on doctrine and power:1Tim.6:3-8 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.2Tim.1:7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.Not because of our works:Eph.2:9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast2 Timothy 1:9 who has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of timeTitus 3:5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy SpiritMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary says "The grace that saves is the free, undeserved goodness and favour of God; and he saves, not by the works of the law, but through faith in Christ Jesus."Father God, how rich are these words from the above commentary! Thank you is inadequate. We praise You for who You are! Amen

A Work of Delusion/Can Man Make for Himself gods?
Is not this world under delusions? Have we not forsaken God with the pursuit of worldly treasures? We may not have built idols of wood, stone or metals but we have definitely replaced God with things! Is this not idolatry? Check yourself today and make sure God is foremost in your heart.
Jer.10:15 They are worthless, a work of delusion; at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
Jer.10:10 But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King. At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
Jer.16:20 Can man make for himself gods? Such are not gods!"
Psalm 115:4 But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
He will bring judgement!
Jer.12:17 But if any nation will not listen, then I will utterly pluck it up and destroy it, declares the LORD."
Still today, there are many who worship idols or false gods. Surely they have not considered who created all things! Stop, just for a moment, look around and see that God is good! He has given us many beautiful things in creation to be thankful for and to praise Him for. The sky and all it's beauty, stars, trees, grass, soil, animals of which we have dominion over, clouds, sun for warmth and to make things grow, rains to replenish our water and to help our crops grow, the wind to cool us that seems to come from nowhere, planets that capture our imagination, and of course the ever wonderful moon. God created all things! He has no beginning or end, He is and was!!
1 Cor.8:5-6 For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth--as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"-- yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
Lord, so many perish while believing a lie. They neither know You or praise You. I pray for Your Word to go out into the world today and to convict and change lives. In Jesus name and for Your glory, Amen

Sow Not Among Thorns
Jeremiah 4:3 For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem: "Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
Fallow ground is the heart of men who do not seek or desire the saving grace of Christ. God's word enters the heart of man and the miracle begins to take place. Man's vile heart is unrepentant. God's word is there to convict of sin! But sometimes the cares of this world, the pull of achieving more things etc, choke the power of the Word and make it unfruitful. Only by God's power will man have salvation. Only through Christ, by faith, will man be reconciled to God.
Father, wake this world from their sleep of death! Open hearts to Your Word! Amen

Pray For All People
I do not know most of you, but you can rest assured that God does. Someday He will judge me and you. Ignorance will not be an excuse! Man will be without excuse! In nature you can surely see that the creation of the universe, all it's glory, and it's magnificence was created by someone other than man. There is only one God, Creator and King, who will judge all nations! He sent His own Son, Jesus, to redeem us from destruction.
1 Tim.2:1-6 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved , and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Romans 1:19-20 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.Acts 17:24 "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.We must pray for all people! We all are under condemnation because of sin! We all have one way for redemeption, through Christ alone! We all are equal at the foot of the cross!! Salvation is there for who so ever will humble themselves! Ask for forgiveness from the only One who can give it!Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Lord, people of every nation, tribe and tongue are searching for You. They may not have the biblical knowledge of who You are but they know that someone is Creator! Lord, by Your power and might, the world will know You!! As we spread the gospel near and far, in person and by every means available, we ask for Your spirit to convict hearts. May Your Word be in our hearts and minds as we learn and teach. Amen
