WOLVES WILL HOWL

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matthew 7:15

Did you hear that; it was a howl from the mouth of a wolf in the mist of the sheep? It can come at a business meeting when they don’t get their way. It can come during a discussion over doctrinal issues, when they find out what they thought isn’t what the Bible says. It can come when the pastor chooses someone else to serve in a position they thought they were best qualified for.

Child of God are you in tune with the Saviour? Is their sin in your heart causing you to be confused with the noises of this world? If you confess and forsake the sin in your life you will be able to discern good from evil. If you are in tune with the Saviour you will hear when a wolf howls.

DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR OR SEE!

Seeing isn’t believing anymore, but then neither is hearing.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1

The digital, computer generated age we live in propels images to us that are so far from the truth the FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, and NSA have trouble determining what’s real. So how do they determine what’s real? They study the real things! How do we know if a twenty dollar bill is real? I don’t! A cashier at the market runs a mark over them to check them out. But I don’t have one. The guys keeping check don’t study the fake ones, they study the real ones!

You and I are going to determine truth versus error by studying the Truth. It will not be by looking at the dead religions of the world. We will see Truth when we read His Word, study His Word, and apply His Word. Let’s be like the Bereans in Acts 17, “…they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

DRIVING A LIFE WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING IT

When it comes to the control of our lives, we are either "body" men or "spirit" men. --Eric Lindholm

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. Proverbs 25:28

Have you ever tried to drive a mini-bike? I was like 11 or 12 and one of my friends got one for his birthday. He said, “You want to drive it?” Sure!...was my crazy response! What a mistake! I got on it, cranked it up, popped the clutch and off I went….right into a tree. I had no control over it because I didn’t know how or what to do!

That ride reminds me of my life before I received Christ as Saviour! I was aimlessly walking around in this world not knowing where I came from or where I was going. Since the day Jesus came into my life I have had a pair of spiritual eye glasses showing me that I have a wonderful Creator and He has informed me of where I’m going.

How’s your eye sight? Are you still running into sin and shame? Are you lost, looking for a way out always ending up starting over? Before all else fails—look to Jesus and live. You’ll be driving your life with understanding!!
