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?”
