False Prophets 

   “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves.” (Matt 7: 15) 

    There have always been false prophets, those who would lead people astray for their own benefit.  Perhaps they are the sons and daughters of Satan, desiring only to draw the faithful away and into the great abyss of evil.

    Today there are many forums for these liars and deceivers.  One of the worst is the internet.  A quick search on Christianity will deliver numerous sites to visit, some which are true to their faith but also many that are not.  It’s so easy to find a well-designed and well-written website that appears to have only our best interest at heart but are in fact false prophets.

    Our public schools are full of false prophets.  People who would lead our children down the path of evil, convincing them that evil doesn’t exist; that right and wrong is up to the opinion of each individual.  They too fill the internet with their vile teachings.

    Worst of all, our churches have become a haven for many false prophets.  Those who would try to change or reinterpret the word of God in order to “not offend”.  They refuse to speak out against sin, accepting and promoting some of the most abominable desires of a sick and perverted society.

    There are many resources for those wishing to increase their faith, some quite good and some horribly evil. The internet often brings these false prophets into our home, but it also offers the opportunity to  investigate what is being said and who is saying it.  In all things we must test prophecy.  We must turn to God to help us reject the false prophets, to look to scripture and know the truth.
