FOR THE TIME WILL COME... WHEN THEY
WILL NOT ENDURE ....SOUND DOCTRINE BUT ACCORDING TO THEIR ...OWN DESIRES, BECAUSE THEY
HAVE ITCHING EARS THEY WILL HEAP UP FOR THEMSELVES TEACHERS .... 2 TIMOTHY 4:3.
TO
ENDURE IS TO BE SAVED!
Yet
another promise of the Christ, through the apostle Paul, given by the Holy Ghost, you
might want to call it prophecy, I will.
This prophecy is in full swing this very hour, today/right now in most church
structures. They have their books full of names of men and women who teach unsound
doctrine, there is literally heaps of them. What is unsound doctrine?.. any teaching or
preaching that points not to the cross. Paul said, they would not endure, meaning they
would accept the teachings of the Christ for a season but because of increasing peril and
friction in the community they would turn a touch, only a dot but they would in time give
favour to their own desires and start to search for men and women who would and have
wandered just like they have from the love of the truth ... there is no love where there
is no truth.. 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12.
What is it church?... own desires or His desires?. only you can answer that question ..
I was preaching repentance and forgiveness on the street corner the other day,
when I was met by a young lady who attended a Baptist church somewhere in the city. She
said that the preaching of the cross was foolishness, so therefore she said I should
preach love and then I might get somewhere. This is what is clearly meant by the scripture
above.. they shall not endure sound doctrine. I said to her that, when I was a alcoholic I
knew that Jesus loved me but that in itself didn't change my life, deliver me from the
bottle or save my soul. However, when I turned to Jesus, asked Him to forgive me of my
sins and save my soul .. my whole life was transformed so radically I still this very day
rejoice in that moment of time when Jesus set me free from that which had me bound. Jesus
can't bless thoughts but He can surely bless action. It's like saying here is a $100 bill,
until we take the $100 and do something with it.. it is of no use for anything ... Luke
24:47.
Churches in Australia are forever telling the people that God is love, when will
they tell the people unless they turn they shall burn in a eternal fire a living death,
where there is no sleep but a promise of eternal torment that has no boundaries.. this is
love, to warn the sinner that God will not strive with man forever. The churches in
Australia have shown this country one thing that stands out in my understanding and that
is .. church is a place of fun and this is why very few take Jesus seriously. If it ain't
that people use the religious establishments to find, a so called clean partner to carry
on their pursuit of their selfish ambitions. If it ain't that, churches have snared
themselves as a social club, whatever way you go its a far cry from the way.
Amen.
