False pastors, evangelist, and teachers
The apostle Peter warns,
"But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping" 2 Peter 2:1-3.
There are a lot of false teachers. Men and women claiming to be Christians but are not. These false teachers can be hard to spot, especially in this multi media world we live in.
That is why we should be on guard.
Sadly there are many calling themselves Christian evangelist, and pastors that are preaching to people what they want to hear. After all who wouldn’t want to hear that by giving money to a ministry would yield ten, or a hundred fold?
Who doesn’t want to hear that by praying a certain way you will be healed or be freed from suffering.
But this is not the gospel Jesus preached. Jesus said,
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33.
We must always remember trouble will come in many forms in this world. That being said as the psalmist referring to God states,
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Psalm 23:4.
Please think about it.
