Bible Note: Justme: Happy New Year, brother! ..... I've long entertained the notion that the primary reason that false prophets are able to sway so large a number of people is this: Ignorance, pure and simple. How can one discern the difference between a false prophet and a true one unless he knows what a true prophet is? And how can he know that unless he becomes himself a Berean and searches the Scriptures? Crass ignorance of Scripture is pandemic today, even among those who profess themselves to be Christian. Too many for too long have become so accustomed to being spoon fed their spiritual Pablum by the likes of Brother Benny or Sister Joyce that they scarcely know how, or bother, to learn how to dig in and study the Bible for themselves. The drummer that Christians should march to is the word of God, not the garish display of foolishness that one sees on parade in the three-ring circuses that masquerade as faith-healing extravaganzas. To support such farces as these is to make the fat cats fatter and the victims spiritually and financially leaner. To choose God's word over blatant deception is not always the popular road to take, but it is the only safe one. The true gospel of Jesus Christ leads to eternal life, but counterfeit gospels lead to eternal destruction. --Hank |
