THINK ABOUT IT

Have you ever got the sense that a pastor was compromising truth for popularity and power? The apostle Paul warned us that, in the last days, false teachers would arise from within our very own ranks. He called  them wolves, people who would teach a popular but perverted gospel in an attempt to gather disciples to themselves  (Acts 20:29, 30). Also, speaking of the last days, Jesus warned, “Take heed that no one deceives you. … Many false prophets will rise up  and deceive many” (Matthew 24:4, 11 NKJV). How do you spot a false prophet—a wolf in sheep’s clothing? In Matthew 7:16, Jesus said you would ultimately know  them by their fruits. There is also another specific sure-fire indicator … … do they teach that Jesus saves us  from  our sins or  in  our sins? As Christians we have to be real cautious about our preachers, the bible should be our guide in our search for truth. http://www.amazingfacts.org/publications/from-pastor-doug
