Introduction
“Take heed that no man deceive you.” Matthew 24:4b
With those words the Lord Jesus Christ began telling His disciples what they could expect to happen in these Last Days.
Since the inception of the Christian Church almost 2000 years ago, the devil has indeed been using the traditions and inventions of man in his attempts to deceive the Body of Christ.
Unfortunately, he has been able to accomplish this to a greater degree through the ecumenical movement. Leaders within modern Christendom have prostituted themselves with spirits of error and heresy, creating false teachings that have infiltrated and weakened the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. The followers of the Lord, as a whole, have adopted the ancient ways of Baal, witchcraft and paganism through celebrations and rituals we now label Christian.
In these Last Days it is time for Christians to stand up for the Word of God and put away the idols of old.
“Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean…” Genesis 35:2b
It is a simple yet precise searching of the Truth as presented in the Word of God and testified by world history.
My prayer is that all who take the time to read this will do as the Bereans’ in the Book of Acts.
“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:11
