Always Learning & Never Able to Come to the Knowledge of the Truth (Part 2)
from St Mark Sermons · host St Mark Coptic Orthodox Church
Fr. Matthias Shehad explores St. Paul's message to Timothy about the last days, focusing on the phrase "always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." He examines how increasing knowledge, especially worldly or superficial, does not necessarily lead to true understanding or closeness to God. Fr. Matthias discusses different types of learning that fail to bring one to truth, such as learning without faith, application, or experience. He highlights barriers to knowing the truth, including pride, laziness, ignorance, unrepentant sin, and being distracted by worldly cares. These obstacles prevent believers from experiencing a genuine relationship with God. Emphasizing repentance, faith, and sincere pursuit of God, Fr. Matthias encourages listeners to prioritize spiritual growth over worldly success and to seek contentment through God’s presence rather than material gain.
