2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NIV) For the time will come when men 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. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

  1. GOD DOESN’T WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY WHEN IT CAUSES YOU TO SIN.

    2. 1 Peter 1:15 (NIV) But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do…

    1 Corinthians 10:23 (NLT) You say, “I am allowed to do anything” but not everything is good  for you. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is beneficial.

    1. GOD DOESN’T WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY WHEN IT’S DRIVEN BY CIRCUMSTANCES.

      2. Ecclesiastes 7:14 (NIV) When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other.

      • Like the prodigal, in the pursuit of happiness, most people become miserable.

        • Philippians 4:12-13 (NIV)

        1. GOD DOESN’T WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY, GOD WANTS YOU BLESSED.
          • blessed: makarios (mak-ar'-ee-os); supremely blessed, more than happy.

            • Psalms 112:1 (NIV) Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands.

            Matthew 5:11 (NIV) "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me”

            Psalms 37:4 (ESV) Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

            • delight: `anag (aw-nag'); to be soft or pliable, to delight.

              • Matthew 6:33 (NIV) “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
