A time will come

A time will come
“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.  
They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” 
                                                                                                          2Timothy 4:3,4.
I know a person who every time we talk brings up conspiracy theories. This man calls himself a Christian but I am not certain. Still that’s between him and God.
This man listens to off beat evangelist predominantly from the United States. He tells me president Obama is funding terrorist groups that are against the states.
A few days after the federal election here in Canada he told me our new prime minister was a Muslim after all in his mind only a Muslim would want twenty thousand plus middle eastern refugees to enter Canada.
All of his so called facts were either made up or simple lies he’d been fed by as I say some misguided preacher evangelist or some else who doesn’t have their facts strait.
Sadly this person is not alone. All too many Christians follow preachers and evangelist who are not presenting the word of God correctly.
Such men and women to quote the apostle Paul writing to Timothy,
“...to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.  
They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.”  
Over the last little while in particular I’ve heard evangelist and those calling themselves Christians selling everything from over priced beauty aides with fancy Christian names to survival rations.
That’s not to count those who are out there proclaiming give to get. Give to God (quite often meaning to their particular ministry) and God will give you ten, a hundred, even a thousand fold back. What garbage. God is not a super banker.
Sadly many like the man I spoke of, follow these at the least misguided preachers. They don’t read the word of God for themselves in context. They simply follow a particular evangelist or preachers every word.
As Christians we especially in this multi media age need to turn back to the bible. We need to be reading it daily, praying and asking God to show us the truth contained within it.
We need to be attending a church that studies the Bible in a right and proper manner that dose not take things out of context to make it conform to what they believe.
We must remember the words of Jesus who said,
“Many will say to me  on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’  
Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ “
                                                                                                                 Matthew 7:22,23
Please think about it.
