and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.There are plenty of myths to choose from today. From atheism to agnosticism to other religions old or new, there are untold other options one can choose to follow instead of Christ. And even within what would appear to be Christianity, there are many variants or cults or false teachers one might fall under the sway of.
I sometimes wonder if I am making one of these turns, as I struggle with whether to remain in my current church or not. I feel I have valid reasons to leave, but worry that I'm going off in pursuit of what's good for me, when I'm actually being called to sacrifice and lay down my desires instead. I expect I'll continue to struggle with this until I make a decision, and probably after that as well; may verses like this keep me checking my motives and seeking God's direction.
