It used to be that we had to watch out for the world, but today, we have to watch out for the church. There is a lot of false theology being preached - stuff that may be mostly right, but is just a little bit wrong and pollutes our spirit - just like Satan did to Eve in the Garden. Does your faith matter? While we can't question each other's faith, we are called to hold each other accountable for our faith and we do need to call out a lack of faith. What we believe about scripture will have a massive effect on our lives, so we must be watchful and vigilant about what we allow in. The Old Testament pointed to Jesus, and He fulfilled all of the prophecies there, but the leaders of the church didn't believe it. It upset the status quo. Are we the same? Do we see Him and yet keep questioning what He really means? Faith in Jesus is an all or nothing proposition - either believe in Him or not, there isn't an in-between. It takes no faith to believe God CAN do something, but takes faith to believe God WILL do something. Our faith is going to be in direct proportion to who we believe God is, so what happens when the goodness of God is questioned in our lives? If we believe God is good, we will expect good things from Him. It is blasphemy to attribute the work of God to Satan, so is it also blasphemy to attribute the work of Satan to God? What is the consequence of believing that God brings illness - why would you then pray to Him to heal it? We must get into the Word and study for ourselves to see His will and have faith in what He says.

Amen!
