2.TIM:4V3-4."The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts they shall heap to themselves teachers,----- they shall turn away their ears from the truth--turned to fables."
People have their own agendas, and cannot bear God's Word being their guide. We need to turn them from spurious doctrinal gimmicks and fables to the LIVING WORD OF GOD!!!!!

A timely word of God
2 PETER:2v1-3 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories.
2 PETER:2v15-20 (NIV) They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam .-- But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—an animal without speech—who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness. These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.” If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.
