What Do You Want To Hear

2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NIV)
3 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 to say what their itching ears want to hear.
4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

There are many who say “What is truth?”  Pilate asked that question long ago.  There are many who say there is no one truth.  Each man’s truth is as valid as another’s.  Perhaps it is in the sense that only God’s truth is the one truth.  Any variation is as useless as another.  

The question is what do we want to hear?  Is it something that fits in with our desires or that which fits in with the desires of God?  We are blessed when we long for the things of God.  We give up that blessing when we do not. 

What do you want to hear?
