"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers who say what their itching ears want to hear."
How do you tell when you have given up sound doctrine for what you want? How do we sort out when our political opinions are influencing what we believe? How tempting it is to search for a scripture to justify what I believe, rather than letting scripture shape what I believe. How often as a pastor I have heard someone say "I just don't believe that" after reading a scripture passage. The temptation we face is to use our faith to justify what we want to be the truth, rather than let faith lead us to truth.
