Isaiah 30:10 - "Tell us Smooth things" ESV
Even in Isaiah's day, the people did not want to hear the truth. "Give us no more visions of what is right" NIV.
Don't tell me truth, don't tell me what God is saying or has said. Just tell me what I want to hear to make me feel good. Sound familiar? It's still happening. Why do so many people flock to these huge churches that keep growing? Why do so many people listen to these "smooth things?" People have not changed. We still want to have our ears tickled and minds satisfied. We don't want to hear of our own sinfulness, and our own depravity. We don't want to hear about laying down our life, our need for repentance, and our need for a Saviour.
It still continues to this day.
