  • The Grace for which the Prophets prayed

    The Grace for which the Prophets prayed

    The Lord put this verse on my heart Monday as I prayed:

    1 Peter 1:10  Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you

    The Holy Spirit seems to lead in the themes of Monday’s prior posts. (Not being one to remember passages of scripture, I did not have any idea of the content of this verse and application.  You may want to visit my two posts from Monday.)

    1 Peter 1: {13b} rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance…

  • True of False Teaching?

    True of False Teaching?

    But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will privately bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. – 2 Peter 2:1 – Webster Bible

    How is it that you can listen to false teachers for hours, yet will not READ your Bible even for minutes?

    Do you believe the Bible? How will you know if your teacher is false?

    Peter writes this warning to the church.  Media of this 21st c. rapidly spreads many false teachings who now publicly proclaim ‘damnable heresies.’ You can find whatever you want to believe on the Internet, on TV, on the radio, and in many churches who seek followers of anything to support their false gospel and give to their false causes.

    IF you do NOT hear the Name Jesus, IF Christ is never mentioned, IF you do NOT hear of the Cross and the Resurrection, IF only brief mention of scripture is used to make a point of what God is doing for YOU: beware.

    Most modern Bibles soften the Greek for ‘heresy,’ but the meaning remains. Have you read this warning of Peter to the church? Do you even know what a heresy is?

    Heresy – It’s an act of taking something from someone else, choosing a non-Biblical belief, dissensions arising from diversity of opinions and aims.

    The One certainty of Truth is Christ Jesus. IF you want to follow Him and NOT some false teacher, try reading the Bible just a bit more (daily is best) and listen to those trying to teach you something about God a lot less. False teachers abound.

    Do NOT follow the crowds of false teachers who steal the sheep of Jesus and rob the flocks of their salvation.

    Jesus IS Lord.  Have you heard your shepherd say that lately? Could you be following a liar and a thief? Check out every teaching in the Bible.
