Wells without Water

by Yuri Solomon  
8/19/2023 / Devotionals

2 Peter 2:17

We live in a day of pseudo intellectuality. The educational system is no longer an unbiased and wholistic examination of the past. That is to consider both thoughts and actions in the context of their milieu. Rather, there‘s a type of arrogance, that we know better and are better than they. This is because the past is not employed for honest learning, but for a dishonest agenda. So what abounds in our day is a deep emptiness of shallow conclusions. We’re in a culture which relies on the sensations of the moment to make monumental decisions on right and wrong. We idolize people who have great swelling words of fake virtue. Although they be contrary to both Christ and commonsense. Much of this worldly sentiment has crept into our churches. Pretend preachers mount not a few pulpits today. The unsuspecting come to empty wells looking for water, only to leave as thirsty as they have come. Often, the mantra today is the gospel is antiquated. We know better than Paul or Peter. We have advanced beyond the teaching of the Bible days. One commentary notes, “These men are like dried-up watering-places in the desert, which entice and mock the thirsty traveller; perhaps leading him into danger also by drawing him from places where there is water.” On another occasion Paul gives a prerequisite in order to become a bearer of truth: “If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.” Worldly wisdom and God’s wisdom are antithetical. Such a carnal one in the pulpit may be extremely deep, and yet utterly dry.
