With so many voices seeking to influence, how do we know who to follow? The Bible warns against false teachers, but we can be easily deceived without discernment. Thankfully, 2 Peter 2:10-16 lays out for us the character of false teachers. Pastor Rich unpacks how effectively the passage describes lying voices around us today, and he warns us about the pitfalls we face when we entrust ourselves to lies.

Because God is good, we can know with confidence that He will oppose evil. In 2 Peter 2:4-9, Peter warns that God will judge false teachers. How crucial it is that we guard against worldly ideologies! David Wells defines worldliness as a “system of values that displaces God and His truth from the world”, making “sin look normal and righteousness seem strange.” Embracing any way of thinking that distorts God’s Word is to choose a path that takes us away from our very lifeline, our source of life and meaning. It is no light matter to distort the beautiful gospel we've received. Let’s listen to this message titled: God’s Judgment on Lies.

In school you may have read the famous epic poem called The Illiad. In it, Homer tells of a brilliant ploy the Greeks used to break into the enemy city of Troy. They sent a gift to the Trojans, a massive wooden horse. But the gift was the downfall of the Trojans, for inside the horse, the Greek soldiers hid. The Trojans opened themselves up to the enemy, falling for this great deception. Our enemy uses similar tactics, though, doesn’t he? We are not tempted to believe lies that are blatantly false. Satan often wraps his lies in a cloak of truth. Peter addresses this very concern in 2 Peter 2:1-3. He warns his readers that false teachers will secretly introduce false teachings among them. Distortions of God’s revealed truth often water down His Word or deny key truths within it. Today, Pastor Rich lays out the damage such distortions bring to the one who believes them, and shares with us how to recognize and counter the subtle lies we encounter.
