This is a timeless
message for all who would be leaders in the Church. There are false preachers, teachers and representatives
of Christ everywhere. The Church is full
of people who are not telling the truth or are using the truth for their own
purposes and gain. It will not bode well
for them on Judgment Day. We dare not
ignore what they are doing.
Instead of standing
up against them, we so often look the other way. We tolerate their teachings or for the sake
of unity try to meet on common ground.
We tend to talk about them behind their backs, but not to their
faces. We need to speak out against them
and their teachings. We need to proclaim
truth to them that perhaps they may repent.
If they don’t heed the Word, perhaps some of those who follow them
will.
God declares that
destruction is certain for those false teachers. There is no hope for eternal life in Christ
for those who are not proclaiming the truthfulness of God’s Word. They follow their own delusional
thinking. They will be held responsible
for their false teachings.
Let us be diligent
protectors of the truth. Let us not grow
weary in our proclamation and defense of God’s Word. Let us not turn away from those who are
proclaiming untruth and pretend that it doesn’t matter. The very soul of man is at stake! We must be vigilant defenders of the Word of
God. There are those who are undermining
and seeking to destroy the Word. If we
aren’t defending the truth, by our actions we are agreeing with those who say
that God and the Word are no longer relevant to us. We will answer to God for it.
