Where Are All the Men of God Today???

2 Timothy 4:1-4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 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; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Where Are All the Men of God Today?

* Where are the men of God that are willing to contend for the once for all delivered to the saints faith?
* Where are the men of God who are willing to instruct in sound doctrine and refute those who contradict?
* Where are the men of God who won't tolerate a scatological mouth in the pulpit and will guard the integrity of the sacred desk?
* Where are the men of God who will preach not themselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord?
*Where are the men of God who are biblically discerning, armed with the sword of the Spirit, and in the power of the Spirit will abandon themselves to nothing save Christ and Him crucified?
* Where are the men of God who will say no to the world and yes to Christ - leaving behind career, fame, and the promise of fortune for the sake of the gospel?
* Where are the men of God today who consider it more a joy to bear the reproaches and insults of men for the glory of Christ, then seek after the praise of men for the glory of themselves?
* Where are the men of God who love God more than they fear man?

"I would rather preach the truth with too great a severity, than to ever once act the hypocrite and conceal the truth!" Martin Luther
