Lack  of  Foundation = Lack  of  Discernment

2 Timothy  4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; KJV

If  I  placed  a  bowl  of  poison  in  front  of  you  and  said,  "Eat this," would  you eat it?
Of  course  not.  Why?  Because  you  know  that it's  poison.

 Do  you  know  what  the  Bible  is  teaching  here?
The Bible  is  teaching  that  in  the  last  of  the  last  days,  there  is  going  to be  such  a  lack  of  foundation  that  people  won't  know  enough  of  the Word  to  discern  what's  good  and  what's  bad.
Therefore,  they'll eat  anything  that's  put  in  front  of  them.

Anything! One  man  has  translated  it:  "For  a  time  will  come  when  they will  not  hold  themselves  back  from  bad  food."

This  conveys  the  right  idea  accurately. The  word  "lusts"  describes  the  condition  of  their  heart.
God will  give  you  the  desire  of  your  heart—whether  your  desire  is right  or  wrong. This  word  "lusts"  is  the  Greek  word  "epithumia",  which  refers to  strong,  strong  desire.  So  this  is  not  a  passing  fancy,  but  a deep-rooted  desire.
It  describes  people  who  are  doubled  over with  a  strong  passion. The  Bible  teaches  here  that  in  the  last  days,  people  won't want  sound  doctrine.  They  will  want  something  "frilly." (Decorated / luxurious)

This will  be  the  cry  of  their  heart:  "We  want  something  exciting!  Give us  something  never  heard  before!"

Now the word “doctrine” in the Greek text is didaskalia , which is a word that simply means “teaching or instruction.”

It’s from this Greek word that we get our English word didactic, meaning “to instruct or teach others.” Both the New American Standard version and the New International Version translate this word “…and is profitable for teaching…” So here’s the point: the Bible is profitable for the purpose of teaching you what God wants you to know. You see, the word “doctrine” simply means “what the Bible teaches,” and if you believe anything the Bible teaches, you are believing Bible doctrine. (http://www.awordfromtheword.org/doctrine)

Today  people  associate  doctrine  with  dead  denominationalism. That's  what  they  think  doctrine  is.  I've  heard  people  say,  "Don't give  us  that   doctrine!   We  had  doctrine  when  we  were  in  our denominational  church.  We  don't  want  any  doctrine.  We're  not going  to  be  a  doctrine  church.  We're  going  to  be  a  'sweet,  loving Jesus,  Holy  Spirit'  church. Don't  give  us  that  doctrine."

People  have  a  way  of  saying,  "Come  on—give  me  some razzle-dazzle!  I've  heard  this  before."  Do  you  know  what  they really  mean?  "We  don't  like  foundation.  Let's  just  build  the house.  We  want  to  go  straight  to  the  attic.  Would  it  be  O.K.  if  we ignored  this  foundation  stuff?"
However,  if  you  build  a  house without  a  foundation,  it  will  not  last  very  long.

Rick Rennet said, "As  I  travel  the  country,  there  are  times  when  the  Lord  won't let  me  flow  in  the  gifts  of  the  Holy  Ghost.  Do  you  know  why? Because  people  say,  "Don't  give  us  the  Word.  We  want  a  word  of knowledge!" There  are  times  when  I've  heard  the  Lord  say,  "Son,  I'm sorry,  but  I'm  not  going  to  do  it.  Don't  ask  Me,  because  I'm  not going  to.  I'm  not  giving  them  cake  when  they  haven't  even  had meat."

Today, ask yourself;

Do I have a foundation?
If not, what am I waiting for?
If I have, how strong is it?
What am I eating?

SHALOM!!!!
