A Thought For Today

Timothy 4:3, “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.” (NIV)

Just because someone is preaching on television or the radio or the Internet does not necessarily mean they are preaching sound, biblical doctrine. Before you are convinced by what someone preaches, look it up in the Bible and see for yourself. If what they say doesn't match up with scripture, it's a good idea to turn a deaf ear toward them from that point forward. It may make you feel good or be what your itching ears want to hear, but if it isn't biblical, it isn't truth. Sometimes the truth hurts.
