We live in a changing world that is full of questions, and the answers must come from the unchanging truth of God's word.

Today we look into Scripture with Scott Paul to discover what the Bible says.

Ask the Lord to speak to you and to give you truth to share with others.

Everywhere I go, it seems that the favorite verse of people today seems to be 2 Timothy chapter 3 and verse

number 13 where the Bible says but evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being

deceived I hear everybody quoting that verse and talking about how bad things have gotten and

the pitiful condition of churches and communities and culture.

There's no doubt that's true.

But I want to remind you that that verse does not stand alone, that that text has a context.

As a matter of fact, immediately after the Apostle Paul writes to Timothy, those words,

evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being

deceived. He says in the very next verse, 2 Timothy 314, but continue thou in the things which

thou hast learned and has been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. In other words, yes,

there are negatives all around us, but on the positive side,

we're supposed to continue in the truth. Yes, this is an age of deception. All the more reason

for us to take a strong stand on the truth. Yes, there is a spirit of Antichrist at work in our world

that's trying to deceive people. But friends, just because the spirit of the deceivers at work in our world that's trying to deceive people.

But friends, just because the spirit of the deceivers at work does not mean that the Holy Spirit has stopped his work.

Oh, the Spirit of truth is alive and well.

He's at work in me today. He's at work in you today.

He's at work through the Word today.

And that's why God's people need to know what the Bible says.
