Sound Choices
Joshua 1:8
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;"
Last fall LifeWay Research released a study showing that less than half of U.S. evangelicals “strongly agree” with core biblical tenets. About the same time, another study showed that most people in Western nations no longer believe in heaven or hell.
In his final epistle, Paul told Timothy to continue in the things he had learned, for all Scripture is inspired by God. The time will come, Paul said, when people will not endure sound doctrine but will accumulate teachers who will say what they want to hear (2 Timothy 3:14–4:5).
Now more than ever, we must study God’s Word—carefully, daily, systematically, thoroughly. The more our culture rejects Scripture, the more we must advance sound doctrine. Sitting at the feet of the Savior through Bible study changes our worldview, champions the truth, and rejects the status quo of culture.
A point to ponder…
Give to the Bible attention with intention…. Perhaps there is so little attention in Bible reading today because there is so little intention.
