Bible Note: Fun? Humm… However unintentional it might be, we should be desperate to point our brothers and sisters to Christ and do all we can to protect them by pointing them to the truth found in God’s word! I will tell you why it concerns me and why if I am found in error I have no problem with someone correcting me. That is, the enemy is sneaky and very subtle (Genesis 3:1, Matthew 16:21-23)! We should be desperate to edify our brothers and sisters in Christ with God’s truth so we all are equipped and not left vulnerable to the enemy. Consider what is said in 1 Peter 5:8. Steve PS. I think Matthew 16:21-23 is a great example of how easily we are fooled by the enemy. But knowing and understanding God’s word greatly enables us to discern the error and recognize the subtle attacks of the enemy! |
