<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nDaily Reading: <\/strong>Jude 1 GW<\/a>; Ezekiel 34 GW<\/a>; Psalms 4 GW<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n False teachers require discernment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schisters know the right thing to say to get what they want. We all know people like this; they could sell ice to an Eskimo. When spirituality is the topic, false teachers abound. To grow in discernment, you must steep yourself in God\u2019s word. Memorizing scripture helps you quickly discern when someone isn\u2019t telling the truth. Many people have done horrible things claiming their actions were because of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throwing God\u2019s name around isn\u2019t something you should do lightly. If what you\u2019re doing contradicts God\u2019s word, then odds are, you\u2019re not listening to God. Taking scripture out of context is something God frown\u2019s upon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEvery word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a liar.\u201d (<\/em>Proverbs 30:5-6 ESV<\/em><\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Focus on God\u2019s truth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you study the truth, lies are easy to spot. When you know something so well, you can identify the slightest variation. On a visit to rural Delaware visiting friends, I rode in the car with my adopted niece. Carolanne loves all things farming; as we were driving by the many fields filling the countryside, she said something profound. \u201cWhen you know the fields as well as I do, you can tell whose field is whose.\u201d Her remark stunned me, because to me, they all looked the same. How could she possibly know the difference? But she did because she knew the area so well she could quickly identify any field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The same thing happens when we know God\u2019s word so intimately, we can easily spot the false teachers. Even though they sound convincing, exposing their lies is simple. God\u2019s word never changes, no matter how hard false teachers try. Memorizing scripture helps grow your discernment and identify schisters without much effort. But you must focus on the truth; it will lead you through the lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Lord, thank You for Word which guides us. Forgive us for falling for false teachings. Help us today identify the liars in our lives. Expose them to us as we seek You. Implant Your word in our souls so that we know the truth so intimately, no one can fool us. IJNIP. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Question for reflection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Who has tried to trick you lately?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 minute read.
