Always Learning & Never Able to Come to the Knowledge of the Truth (Part 3)

Fr. Matthias Shehad concludes his series on 2 Timothy 3:7, exploring why people are “always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” He examines different types of learning that fall short of true spiritual understanding, such as focusing solely on worldly wisdom, reading scripture without faith or application, and being distracted by life’s cares. Fr. Matthias discusses the consequences of pursuing worldly wisdom, including grief, despair, vanity, and ultimately destruction. Drawing from biblical books like Ecclesiastes and Proverbs, he highlights how worldly success fails to satisfy the soul or provide lasting joy. He emphasizes the need to choose between serving God or Mammon, warning that divided priorities lead away from eternal truths. Through scripture and practical reflections, Fr. Matthias encourages believers to seek heavenly wisdom, maintain spiritual focus amidst worldly distractions, and live a disciplined life centered on God’s purpose.
