II Timothy 4
Dear RTB’ers,
Paul was writing some 2000 years ago, but his words sound like they were written directly for today: For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions… (v. 3) [NOTE: The NASB has “wanting to have their ears tickled” instead of “having itching ears”. I like that translation!] “…teachers to suit their own passions…” There are reasons why we are St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, in the Anglican Diocese of the South and a part of the Anglican Church in North America instead of The Episcopal Church USA. Yes, Paul was writing for us, today.
Blessings!
