"They..."

February 21, 2019

“They…”

Blessings folk!

Believers are to preach (proclaim/share/etc.) the Word.
In season.
Out of season.

Believers are to:
  • Reprove
  • Rebuke
  • Exhort
…with great patience and instruction.

The time has come when “they”…unbelievers, religionists…will not endure sound doctrine.

Why?

Read the passage again…

2 Ti 4:1-5

I solemnly 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, exhort, with great patience and instruction.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,

and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.

But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship,
do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.


They:

  • Want to have their ears tickled.
  • Want to hear what they want
  • Do not desire to have true change
  • Want a “excuse, reason” to continue living like they desire

So, what do “they” do?

They accumulate for themselves teachers.
Teachers in accordance to their own desires.
Teachers that will say what they want to hear.
Teachers who fear not the Lord nor His Truth.
Teachers of the flesh.
Teachers of the soul.

They will turn away their ears from the Truth.
They will turn aside to myths,

Sadly, this is the state of most professing churches.

Listen carefully.
Is the Word taught? Is the Word honored?

Turn to the Word.
Live in the Spirit.
Reject the ways/strategies and deceptions of man.
