Rebellious Times

2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."

We live in rebellious times, most people will enthusiastically speak about everything as long as the Bible is not mentioned. Sadly we are talking about many "Christians."

When someone is embarrassed or silent when the subject of the Bible is broached, the perhaps you are encountering a pretender, someone who is lukewarm.

Revelation 3:15-17 "…15 I know your deeds; you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were one or the other! 16 So because you are lukewarm— neither hot nor cold— I am about to vomit you out of My mouth! 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked."

It is difficult to find people in our day who are on fire for Christ, most are lukewarm and most disobey more of the Bible than they obey.
