Confused By False Prophets


Paul, an apostle – sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father –
“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel – which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!”

“Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ” (Galatians 1:6-10).

Matthew; the first book of the Gospels warns in (Chapter 7:1-5) “Watch out for false prophets.” Accurately, these are those who in our present time, like in the time of the apostle Matthew, preach a different gospel from the gospel of Christ. And, today, we have so many false prophets we can hardly distinguish one from another. Who is telling the truth? Whom do we trust? Rather than search for the truth, who is Jesus, many of us allow ourselves to be drawn in confusion, and go along with those who seem popular, or who preach a perverted gospel to a naïve populace. There is only one true gospel; that which Jesus preached. It is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago. It will never be inappropriate for this world or any people. The good leader for our nation will not be ashamed of the gospel. That person will be God’s chosen king not the people’s choice or else there will be serious consequences.

Will we serve the king the LORD has chosen for us, or like the Israelites will we refuse Him, and demand someone we prefer? Read (1 Samuel 8:1-22); this is the book and chapter where the Israelites denied God as their king and wanted Samuel to appoint them someone else…per God’s instruction, Samuel did, and, the rest in history!

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

Day before yesterday, I cooked up a pot of "killer" chili. Yeah, I know it's not winter and chili is better in the winter. I like chili all-year long. Well, my chili fixin' was killer alright, it tore our stomachs up something terrible. Yesterday, I was miserable all day. I was so wanting my day to be over - I wanted a new day without stomach problems. Every day, God allows us a "do-over" and we get a new chance at living. Today, thankfully, I am feeling over my chili malady and I (am) starting over. I have a new opportunity today to seek more of Jesus. First, I will pray for my family and friends that they see more of Jesus and that their lives and their today is better than yesterday. And then, I am praying our nation stops this political division and hatred that is sickening our people. God help us to love you more and realize without You we are lost. You are our new day and we praise You for it.
