The Changing Season
Wanting What We Want
In his second letter to Timothy, Paul encouraged the young evangelist with these words:
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.
2 Timothy 4:1, 2 (NASU)
He then followed by explaining a quintessential failing of humanity: our desire to hear what we want to hear.
