“…later times…” Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer December 8: 1Timothy 1-4 Scripture: 1Timothy (NIV) 4:1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. Observation: These are the later times and there are many false teachers active today. The media makes it easy for them to spread their doctrines across our nation and around the world. In the grace of God this is also a time of abundance when it comes to God’s word. To all the translations and versions of the Bible that have been made available in the past, today even more are being added. To all the individual Bibles that have been printed and distributed throughout the world in the past, today presses are printing even more Bibles. Various Bibles are available on the web. Many believers will have no excuse for not knowing God’s Word. Application: The better I know God’s Word, the better I am able to identify false doctrines. The better I know God’s character, the better I am able to recognize what He would be saying and what He would not be saying. The better I know my God and His word, the better I will be prepared for the troubled times ahead. Prayer: Holy Spirit, as I read the Bible, reveal to me the character of my Heavenly Father. Sharpen my spiritual perception so that I may easily recognize false teachers and their doctrines. Amen Pastor Leon Making friends for time and eternity!
