Test All Things
Last Read: |
As we approach these final days before Christ returns, I think it is very important for us to heed the command in Matthew 10:16, "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." The days are becoming dark and dangerous, my friends and we need to be alert so that we are not deceived. There are so many denominations today that it is hard to even keep track. There are even numerous sects within each denomination. There are also churches within each denomination that don't believe in the doctrines of that denomination but still choose to align themselves with that denomination anyway. Finally, there are people in each church that don't believe at all as that church does. My advice to you is not to trust someone's doctrine just because they come in the name of a denomination or even church that you have known to be trustworthy in the past. That just doesn't work anymore. Don't even trust everything one person tells you anymore just because you were able to trust their words in the past. We are to test everything, every time! 1 Thessalonians 5:21 tells us to "Test everything. Hold on to the good." 1 John 4:1 says, "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." We need to be so very careful during these final days of this world as we know it. We need to know the Bible inside and out so that we are able to test words against it, our sure measuring stick. We need to pray about each new teaching that comes along, that the Lord would show us the Truth about it. What will happen if we don't? We will be open to deception that can sweep us away and shipwreck our faith! I don't want to see that happen to any of us! |

yes reallysaved, thankyou. You always have wise words to say, I really enjoy reading your posts and blogs. I agree with you and am at the moment testing things!!!! I sure am looking forwards to being in eternity with HIM. I discovered with pain, the truth about not believing everthing that is preached over the pulpit. I think we all need to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Especially in our own churches. Be Blessed reallysaved
