Preach the Word in Response to False Teaching

Over the last few days there have been a few posts on our group's FaceBook page pointing out the false teachings of others. Now false teaching has been around for a long time and should be no surprise to any of us. However, as I was praying this morning and pondering over what is taking place in the AG and other churches, the Spirit of God spoke so very clearly to me, Preach the Word. What has always been the answer to false teaching and false prophets is God's truth!

In tears this morning God made it clear to my heart that we truly are living in the days Paul told Timothy about when he said, For the time will come when people will not endure sound doctrine, but they will gather to themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, having itching ears, and they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn to myths.

What makes me sad and even angry is the tremendous volume of silence coming from our leadership in the face of all this foolishness. The English philosopher Edmund Burke said, The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. I hope we truly understand that if there are enough bystanders doing nothing, then we will reach a point of critical mass and our history will be shaped by silence. We can no longer stand by and believe that our leadership will do the right thing. We must demand that they do the right thing!
