Scripture: 2 Timothy 4 v 3
"For the time will come when they will not endure
sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears."
- This is a sign of the end times, when there will be a
falling away from the truth concerning Jesus and believe people who appeal to
them and who never challenge the sin in their lives.
- People prefer their own fleshly lusts to be pandered to
and cannot endure the truth. They go looking for philosophy or a lifestyle that
leads them away into darkness and uncertainty.
- I exhort you all to put away the false things you cling
to and throw yourself at the merciful feet of Jesus Christ. Follow Him into
eternal life and the riches of His Kingdom.
Do not be deceived and follow the crowd, but find the strait
(disciplined) and narrow (moral) path that leads to life.
- Jesus walked that path before you and you need to
follow in His footsteps knowing that all who live Godly lives in Christ Jesus
shall suffer persecution. But the joy of salvation and victory over the flesh
is pure heaven.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, You overcame all the deception of the
devil to show us how to defeat him for ourselves. Help us Lord, to learn this
lesson well and apply it to every part of our lives. Amen.
