False teachers know there is a God…they just think themselves wiser and better.

We have to test everything because the enemy is at work all around us. The evil one is no less sly than he has ever been; and we have to be on guard, and especially so, with those we allow to speak into our lives. I recently read on a local, family counselor’s website, whoContinue reading “False teachers know there is a God…they just think themselves wiser and better.”

There is no neutral with Jesus.

The haters of the Lord pretend submission to Him. (Psalm 81:15) And I can pretend submission to God while, in reality, I run my own life, rule my own way, do what feels “right” and all the while I can think, it’s “no big deal”. Today, so many false teachers stand on stages, cherry-picking Scripture,Continue reading “There is no neutral with Jesus.”

The Popular, Make-Believe Jesus

“The devil doesn’t care at all if you know Jesus or love Jesus or pray to Jesus – as long as it is a false Jesus, a make-believe Jesus, a Jesus who is not there, and who therefore cannot save.” – David Guzik, Enduring Word App I am concerned that many promote and ascribe toContinue reading “The Popular, Make-Believe Jesus”

Avoid False Teachers. Keep Testing Everything.

The Antichrist is coming. John warns that the Antichrist is coming and, what’s more, many antichrists have already come but we can discern the truth and not be led away by false teaching (see 1 John 2:18-23). Let’s recognize we are being “taught” all day long in many, many ways in our post it, tweetContinue reading “Avoid False Teachers. Keep Testing Everything.”

Beware- False Prophet

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. She was given a great honor yesterday, a chance to speak truth and unify America around a Christian message. Instead of using her platform to elevate God and His ways, and the blessings that come when individuals and countries follow Biblical principles,Continue reading “Beware- False Prophet”

Be careful

You’ve probably seen the “come and sit by me” post that is going around on social media. We absolutely want every person we know to be welcome to come and sit with us —no matter where sin has taken them. But we, who have tasted real freedom in Jesus, should be careful that we don’tContinue reading “Be careful”

The devil doesn’t care about THIS.

“The devil doesn’t care at all if you know Jesus or love Jesus or pray to Jesus – as long as it is a false Jesus, a make-believe Jesus, a Jesus who is not there, and who therefore cannot save.” – David Guzik, Enduring Word App John says in his letter, “Beloved, do not believeContinue reading “The devil doesn’t care about THIS.”

When the ungodly lead.

A while back, I sat with some young adults who talked of some who were leading worship and small groups while living very ungodly lives on the other days. I listened as they said, rarely, have they themselves, been asked what they believe before they had been asked to lead in church. And as IContinue reading “When the ungodly lead.”

My thoughts on the “He Gets Us” ad…

It’s hard to navigate this world. We know evil is coming at us all day long. We know false teachers abound. We know Satan is still after hearts and souls and doing all he can to keep the lost from the One True God. The Bible tells us false teaching will increase in the latterContinue reading “My thoughts on the “He Gets Us” ad…”

Hold Tight

Take a slow read of these words the Apostle Paul penned so very long ago. May we take them to heart in this day. May we not live in fear, but be warned and so very careful about who we allow to speak into our lives – “If anyoneteaches otherwiseand does not consentto wholesome words,evenContinue reading “Hold Tight”

Beware!

Hard, timely words of warning. Beware. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.”(Matt 7:15) “The basic fault of the false prophet is self interest.” (Barclay) It can be expressed by a desire for gain or an easy life, a desire for prestige, or the desireContinue reading “Beware!”

Oh, be so very careful…

It seems false teachers are around every corner, or at least every other scroll on social media. Oh, how I agree with Allie Beth Stuckey who warned in the video I posted yesterday about their slyness. Yes, the Grammy performance was dark, awful, and obvious…and none of us should be watching these shows. But falseContinue reading “Oh, be so very careful…”

Beware of false teachers who combine worldly philosophies with the gospel.

Beware. Paul said, “Beware”. “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.” (Col 2:8) The false teachers of Paul’s day were combining worldly philosophies with the gospel and people were being deceived. This deceitContinue reading “Beware of false teachers who combine worldly philosophies with the gospel.”

Beware of false teaching so you can walk in freedom and abound in thanksgiving!

Yesterday, we talked about Christ being enough and getting discouraged when we look to people and things to do for us as only Christ can. We can also get discouraged and off track when we think we need to add to what Christ has done or change what God has said through His Word. ThisContinue reading “Beware of false teaching so you can walk in freedom and abound in thanksgiving!”

Walk in Christ

Are there false teachers among us? Certainly. The early church was impacted by them and so are we. The Apostle Paul was prompted to write his letter to the church at Colosse to encourage believers to walk in Christ and resist the false teaching of the day. One such false teaching held that there wereContinue reading “Walk in Christ”

Is the antichrist among us?

As a little girl, I remember listening while my older relatives talked about the Antichrist. Honestly, it scared me. As I’ve grown up, I’ve searched the Scriptures, watched the news, and tried to figure out who it could be, and if he has appeared on the scene. John tells us, it is the last hourContinue reading “Is the antichrist among us?”
