2 Timothy 4:2-3 (NIV) 2 Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
Are we seeing this today? It has been part of church history for years but as the hour grows short, we will see more and more of this. Much of the church has moved to teaching what the people want to hear, being careful not to offend, saying: "We wouldn't want someone to be offended and walk away from the church."
Well the truth of God's Word will offend some. He calls us to deny ourselves and pick up the cross and follow him. There is nothing seeker sensitive about the cross. This is not a time for '"Political correctness," but a time to proclaim the truth.
God's word say they will know the truth and the truth will set them free. Let's boldly proclaim the truth! God bless you as you - 2 Timothy 4:7 ...fight the good fight,... finished your course, ...kept the faith: (Paraphrased)
