Delving A Litte Deeper

We say we don't want sugar-coated messages in our churches and yet we subscribe to all kinds of fluffy, sugar-coated, self-helping, make me feel good ideas.  No doubt there are many people who have completely turned away from faith in Christ and believing that He is the only way to heaven, because they've neglected His word and have become deceived.

We play on the internet and look at all kinds of things. We research topics for classes we take or purely out of curiosity. But how much time do we take to research the sources of those cute little, make me feel good ideas?

Check out the link to the post and you will find that many of these ideas have their roots in new age, one world religion, witchcraft; (aka wiccan) and the occult. They may seem harmless but they are insidious. Some of these ideas come from inspirational or motivational speakers. If we delve a little deeper we will often find the source of their inspiration is demonic. They use terms such as wisdom, happiness, guru, ascended masters, ancient ones, hidden teacher, enlightened one, path to enlightenment, illumination, unity, peace and even paganism!

If they do not mention the name of Jesus on their website, RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!

II Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

II Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

Matthew 13:44  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

 

Prayer: Lord help us all delve a little deeper and look to your word for wisdom and encouragement.
