From The Pastor's Desk...
“For the time shall come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after there own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears.” (2 Timothy 4:3)
As believers, we need to heed carefully the direct witness of the Spirit as He ministers the truth to us concerning the Living Word. Many voices today deny the testimony of the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Godhead in matters of scriptural truth, while placing the opinions of men on an equal or higher level than the written Word of God. This is particularly true when the scriptures are at odds with the traditions and doctrine of men. Don’t fall for that trick! It’s a sign of the predicted apostate church of our day and time.
In 2nd Timothy chapter 4, Paul warns of the coming dangers faced by the body of Christ at the hands of preachers and teachers who dilute apostolic doctrine for personal gain. We don’t have to be victimized or confused by the multitude of isms and schisms so rampant in the world today. We must simply rely on God’s Holy Spirit…in accordance with and as outlined by the Word of God…as our guide. After all, Jesus called Him (the Holy Spirit) the Spirit of Truth and promised that He would lead us into all truth, as well as show us things to come. (John 16:14) Keep in mind…the Holy Spirit will NEVER contradict the Father, or the Son, in His revelation.
If we are wise we will determine within ourselves to seek the pure truth of the Word of God given to us by Christ Himself. It’s a weapon of our warfare and through its pages and by His blood victory is ours!
“He shall cover thee with His feathers and under His wings shalt thou trust. His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” (Psalm 91:4)
