2 Timothy 4:3-5
3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
Where do you find someone who will only tell you true things? There is this cloudy memory in some people’s minds of a grizzled news man in the ‘50s who could really be trusted. But those days are gone now! Verifying a fact is incredibly time consuming if it’s even possible. With conflicting reporting, the possibility arises to just follow or read people who suit your own passions. Christians don’t have that option.
We have met the Truth and He’s given us quite a bit to do. If Jesus has captured you, if you are really His, then you do have an unerring standard for what is true about what matters most. What’s more, you don’t have the time to have your head turned by myths. We are called to work as evangelists helping people for eternity. Look up and fix your eyes again on what, or Who, is True.
Prayer prompt: Lord, help me to think clearly and stay focused on what I know is true.
