I give you this charge: Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.”

‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

From politics to toilet tissue, ads sell anything and everything they think you want to know about their product with little regard for the truth.

“You want the truth?

You can’t handle the truth.”

Preach, correct, rebuke, and encourage may be what believers desperately need, but given the option, they all too often take it, and in a heartbeat.

Long haul Christians clearly understand the price that comes with their faith, subjugate their own desires, and opt for the road less traveled.

They have trained themselves to recognize truth from lies, good from evil, and right from wrong.

Particularly in these later days, these are the least popular leaders bearing the least popular message for the most important human era.

The road is narrow.

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it”.

Matthew 17:13-14 NIV

Your choices today are more weighty than ever for yourself and your family.

Who will you allow in your inner circle to teach and advise? Choose wisely.

I am Jesus Christ

and I approve this message.
