Ooops I said it again!!

When Paul pleaded with Timothy to preach the true and unapologetic gospel of our Lord Jesus he had good reason. We find in (2 Timothy 4:2-5) that perilous times were ahead! Paul tells Timothy to “PREACH THE WORD” isn’t it interesting that Paul leaves off “tell jokes, or entertain the masses with antidotes and Play Station 3”? Paul was very much aware that a day was coming, and in our case is now here, that even men and woman of the CHURCH would not put up with sound, true, and pure teaching! It is sadly where we find the church today with pulpit committees that are not even qualified to select an orange for the congregation’s consumption let alone a man of God that actually might teach them a thing or two. No they much prefer men who will espouse THEIR OWN desires to hold fast to THEIR traditions and practices and that will at the sake of forfeiting the call God placed on them turn the wine of scripture back into water. They have ears that itch to be told they are without sin, that they are pure and clean and that God loves them despite their sin! All of this is contrary to scripture of course but with out steadfast pastors to continue the true fight of theology and doctrine we quickly see the decline of good houses of worship falling to the depths of despair and bursting into the flames of Hell! Good men and woman are being left alone in these viperous dens by their associations, conferences, and denominations because THE CHURCH sends the money and not the Pastors and so the church gains the support and the pastor is ran out of town when he “falls out of line” with what the heathenness masses demand. Paul had great reason to demand that Timothy hold fast and “REPROVE, REBUKE and, EXHORT” these people that in the second he turn his back they may have him hailed as a heretic for sound biblical doctrine. This is the state of our church… I have served worse a den as their pastor! Loved when buying dinner at social events and despised when teaching the doctrines of the bible. Supported when my mouth was closed but chastised and smeared when Christ’s own words poured from my mouth. Oh if only I had heeded the plea of Paul! Might it have saved those that went astray? Or would I have found they were never part of the fold?.....
