Watch Out and be Careful!

“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8 NIV)

Many deceivers are in the world, and they are disguised as good stuff! They show up as religious books and literature disguised as godly materials, but they are not biblically accurate. I’ve noticed a lot of new age thinking, liberal wokeness, and progressive thought has crept in. It is also present in modern “gospel” music now sung frequently in churches, but it’s void of Bible truth. It is touchy-feely stuff, self-centered, and doesn’t promote worship of God. It also shows up in the messages of public speakers, with fantastic stories and ideas without sound doctrinal truth. 

“For many deceivers have gone out into the world,” (2 John 1:7a)

Test everything by the Word of God

The Bible is where you must go to check out everything that comes along to discover if it is true or not.

What the Berean Jews did

“Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true..” (Acts 17:11 NIV)
