Where do I stand?

^3-5You're going to find that there will be times when people will have no stomach for solid teaching, but will fill up on spiritual junk food—catchy opinions that tickle their fancy. They'll turn their backs on truth and chase mirages. But you—keep your eye on what you're doing; accept the hard times along with the good; keep the Message alive; do a thorough job as God's servant. (2 Timothy 4:3-4, The Message)

³ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; ⁴ and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. (2 Timothy 4:3-4, New King James Version)

³ For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;

⁴ and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables. (2 Timothy 4:3-4, American Standard Version)

How many thousands of years ago was this written? And yet it still rings true. People listen to what they want to hear. They do what they want to do. I was like this at one point in my life, and it's not something I'm proud of. I want to be teachable, and to pay attention to what the truth is. I'm not into falling in line with what everyone else says. I just want to live and speak the truth. Cause I'm sick of everyone staying in their lies. I don't want to be like that. And I can't worry about them , and what they are doing. I can only handle myself. And what I'm about.
