Scripture 2 Timothy 4:2-4

After reading this scripture, can you see where this is a picture of our world today? A lot of people are no longer content to listen to sound doctrine because like verse 3 says, they want to give in to their own lusts. They listen when someone tells them that it's alright to do something that in their heart they know is wrong. The reason they listen is because they need an excuse for doing it. People can come up with any excuse they like for the sins they commit.

The only cure for the sin in anyone's life is to ask Jesus into their heart as their personal Saviour. I heard someone say one time that if you don't stand for something, then you will fall for anything. If there was ever a day when we needed to be sure of what we believe it is today. Many who are claiming to be sent from God are leading many astray. Sad to say, because of the desire to sin and having someone tell them it's okay, many are falling for the false teachings.

If you are doing things today that you know in your heart is wrong, change your ways and do what you know is right. Then start to live the way you know you should be living. If you are one of those who have been just accepting whatever you feel is right yourself, start listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit and when you are not sure about something, ask Him to guide you. He always guides us to the truth.




Don't listen to the nonsense
That's in the world today
Live according to God's word
Let truth have it's way.
