For the is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching.They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths. -2 Timothy 4:3-4 Many speakers, teachers, and writers talk about the pursuit of knowledge.But often they dont want knowledge; they want power.Such people wont listen to sound and wholesome teaching. Instead they reject the truth and chase after myths.You can see this everywhere ftom liberal churches to university campuses.People claiming to have a bit more enlightenment than what the dusty Bible has to say, people claiming to improve on Gods words.Such people have several things in common. 1).They do not tolerate the truth, They have no interest or respect for absolute truth or any standard for judgement. 2).They reject truth for sensationalism, They want teuth that fits their situation and makes sense for them.What they feel, what works for them, what seems compelling that is their truth and they claim an absolute right to it.No one should even attempt to tell them differently. 3).They gather viewpoints to suit their selfish desires.Although they profess objectivity, their only defense for their viewpoints is that those viewpoints suit theie desires. Such teachers have a following because they are telling people whatever their itching ears want to hear.These people are following myths.Be careful, False teaching can be found in many places even inside the doors of some churches.Like Timothy, you must keep a clear mind in every situation and seek Gods Words for truth.
