Quick Reminder: Listen to a true preacher instead of a clownish preacher
“A preacher shouldn’t preach just to make you feel good. Then it’s about the money not about the teach. He should preach the truth because the truth shall set you free.” ― Alcurtis Turner
Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.(2 Timothy 4:2-4)
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. (2 Peter 2:1-3)
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. (Revelation 22:18-19)

Disciples of hope 
This is so true and maybe even more so today. Names started popping in my head as I read this. They are definitely on the rise. Thanks for the reminder. We must all be vigilant and the way to do that is being in the Word.

Indeed. Quite a lot of name’s fit in as clownish preacher’s. Be blessed in continuing to be vigilant for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Too many are making shallow the Word of God in order to tickle the ears of their listeners.
