A heart for Truth ...

... Is better than "itchy ears".

"For the time will come when people 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."- 2 Timothy 4:3
------------------  

This scripture speaks volumes of what is going on today.  The false teachers are everywhere.  You can identify them once you know true doctrine.  Most of the time, false teachers will either alter the character of each member of The Holy Trinity and/or the Gospel.  

But a pure and humble submission to scripture by God's grace is the only protection from "itchy ears".

Pray that God's Holy Spirit may direct you in His Truth through His Word and allow you submit to knowledge of His Word.  Jesus said that He came to give sight to the blind, and taught that the Father is more than willing to give to His children all those good things that are needed.  God is more than willing that we all have His Truth and live by it. 

The ministry of The Holy Spirit among many things is to deliver God's Truth to us, make it known, and have us spread it forward.  

Therefore, seek His Truth with a pure heart, in humility, honestly, and God will graciously provide His Truth through His Word to you. 

Amen!

The anchor of TRUTH -

It's amazing what people without a true foundation to anchor their faith on will believe.  

When you really don't know what you really believe in, you tend to grab here and there in other places for (spiritual or non spiritual) things that you think will support your weight in times of disaster. 

It's common for people to actually invent those anchors. 

But sadly, when you invent a support system, and tragedy strikes, most of the time what you thought you knew and believed, you forget, and you find yourself alone in an echoing darkness with nothing real to grab on to.

Truth is something that we need ALL the time.    It begins with knowing who we really are, what we really need, and most of all, who God is. 


Jesus prayed, "Father sanctify them in Truth; your WORD IS TRUTH".
