2 Timothy 4:3 Itching Ears

Good morning! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

I just cannot leave "itching ears" just yet. There are people who claim to have a bit more enlightenment than what the dusty Bible has to say. People claiming to improve on God's words. These people have a few common attributes. So here we go.

1. THEY DO NOT TOLERATE THE TRUTH. They have no interest or respect for absolute truth or any standard for judgment.

2. THEY REJECT TRUTH FOR SENSATIONALISM. They want truth that fits their situation and makes sense for them. What they feel, what works for them, what seems compelling-that is their truth and they claim an absolute right to it. No one should even attempt to tell them differently.

3. THEY GATHER VIEWPOINTS TO SUIT THEIR SELFISH DESIRES. Although they profess objectivity, their only defense for their viewpoints is that those viewpoints suit their desires.

Such teachers have a following because they are telling people "whatever their itching ears want to hear." These people are following myths. Be careful. False teaching can be found in many places-even inside the doors of some churches. Like Timothy, you must keep a clear mind in every situation and seek God's Word for the truth. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
