Be on Guard!

Matthew 13: 5

Jesus said to them: "Watch out that no one deceives you.”

Deception comes just a little at a time.

It never shows up in a dump truck full, but in very subtle ways.

The Bible says that we should give thought to our very steps. (Pro. 14:13)

The devil says, just throw caution to the wind.

The Bible also says, that many will want their ears tickled in church.

The prosperity message of the Gospel is out there today, and some would preach…just name it and claim it.

That is subtle deception.

Jesus never said, just name it and claim it.

Actually, Jesus said that… “foxes have holes—and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has no place to lay his head.”

The general rule of life, usually applies in this case.

If it’s probably too good to be true—it probably is.

That is unless we’re talking about Salvation—God’s plan of redemption sounds too good to be true—but it’s true.

We need to be wise as serpents and as harmless as doves, when it comes to deception.

Just remember—we are living in very deceiving times—and many will be led away…
