False Teachers

...
God has laid it upon my heart to study this subject: false teachers. I was 'briefed' on it last week, but I know there is more that needs to be covered. On looking through my concordance, there is so much more, to the point that I feel rather overwhelmed. Nevertheless, this is Part 1.

First, 2nd Timothy 4:2-5. Verse 2 explains our rights and responsibilities with regards to how we speak God’s word.

“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.”

Verses 3 and 4 explain what is going on, and why.

“For the time will come when they will not indure sound doctrine, but according to their desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”

Verse 5 explains our response, and further responsibilities.

“But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.”

Thirdly, 1st Timothy 4:12-14. Encouragement on how to conduct ourselves.
