Yeah, But . . .

READ: 2 Timothy 4:1-8

They will turn their ears away from the truth. —2 Timothy 4:4

Grading university papers is full of surprises. Sometimes, one of my students will successfully handle a subject and display good writing style, and I feel as if my instruction was worthwhile.

Other surprises aren’t so pleasant. Like the paper in which a student wrote, “The Bible says, ‘Thou shalt not ____.’?” He filled in the blank with the activity he was writing about—even though Scripture does not contain such a verse. I thought his biggest problem was not knowing Scripture, until he concluded, “Although the Bible says this is wrong, I don’t see why, so I think it’s okay.”

It’s dangerous and the worst kind of arrogance to think we know more about an issue than God does. Scripture predicted this kind of thinking. Paul said in 2 Timothy 4: “They will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires . . . they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth” (vv.3-4). This points to people who set aside the inspired Word of God (3:16) in order to accept teaching they think is “okay.”

When the Bible clearly spells out a principle, we honor

God by obeying Him. For believers, there’s no room for “Yeah, but . . .” responses to Scripture.

God who formed worlds by the power of His Word
Speaks through the Scriptures His truth to be heard;
And if we read with the will to obey,
He by His Spirit will show us His way. —D. De Haan

The Bible: Read it, believe it, obey it!
Bible in One Year: Psalms 77-78; Romans 10

Like we always say, it is so easy to make these little mistakes, especially for me! Everything is running slow for me today....tinypic and everything I do! Can’t tell if its my computer or its happening to everyone! It took me forever to get that little wagon post done. I almost gave up but didn’t. But I am going to get busy now! See ya later!

[jaycee]

Good Morning Mr. Mayor and thank you for today’s devotion and scripture. No more “Yeah, but’s”....for believers! I have been guilty of that at times. Nice lesson....

Oh, JC, that is the sweetest little red wagon! (My geraniums were just as pretty, until the durned javelina (wild pigs) got into them, and pulled them out by the roots, eating every single one of them!)
