Reading for Today - I Timothy 4:1-5 - the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith

1 Timothy 4:1-5 (ESV)

Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared, who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.

We need to be sure we are following the word of God. There are those in the world that will seek to teach false doctrine. There are those who conscience is seared and they do not teach or practice the truth and seek to draw us away from God. May we study God’s word diligently and may our hearts be open to be touched by and filled with the word.
