TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:1-6

Warren Wiersbe said, “Paul had warned the Ephesian elders that false teachers would invade the church; and now they had arrived. The Holy Spirit had spoken in specific terms about these teachers, and the prophecy was starting to be fulfilled in Paul’s time. Certainly it is fulfilled in our own time! We can recognize false teachers by the description Paul gave in this paragraph. They are energized by Satan. This is the only place where demons are mentioned in the Pastoral Epistles. Just as there is a “mystery of godliness” concerning Christ, so there is a “mystery of iniquity” that surrounds Satan and his work. Satan is an imitator; he has his own ministers and doctrines, and seeks to deceive God’s people and lead them astray. The first test of any religious doctrine is what it says about Jesus Christ. It comes as a shock to some people that Satan uses professed Christians in the church to accomplish his work. But Satan once used Peter to try to lead Jesus on a wrong path, and he used Ananias and Sapphira to try to deceive the church at Jerusalem. Paul warned that false teachers would arise from within the church. They lead people astray. Their goal is to seduce people and get them to depart from the faith. This is the word apostasy, and it is defined as “a willful turning away from the truth of the Christian faith.” These false teachers do not try to build up the church or relate people to the Lord Jesus Christ in a deeper way. Instead they want to get disciples to follow them and join their groups and promote their programs. This is one difference between a true church and a religious cult: A true church seeks to win converts to Jesus Christ and to build them spiritually; conversely, a cult proselytizes, steals converts from others, and makes them servants (even slaves!) of the leaders of the cult. However, not all apostates are in cults; some of them are in churches and pulpits, teaching false doctrine and leading people astray.”
