Do Not Be Blinded to the Truth

So many people are blinded now to the truth, it is agonizing to watch how many people believe false doctrine and defend those who are deceiving them.

There are many false ideas in the church today. Ideas that defile the gathering and cause sin to grow within the church.

Because the church is full of apostates and pretenders very little of the Bible is being obeyed even when these same people say; "we are a Bible-believing church." They can speak this language all they want but they are lying. "Bible-believing" means one is referring to the Bible for everything all the time.

I see many people fighting against the principles of the Bible, preferring their favorite preachers over the infallible word of God. If their favorite preachers declare something as truth the hearers refuse to hear the truth from the Bible that exposes the error or their preachers.

When this happens the preacher takes priority over God!!!! When a preacher cannot be corrected by the Scripture then that preacher is a god in the eyes of those who sit under him.

When a preacher is paid he is also at the mercy of those who pay him. The one-man pastor cannot be objective when their salary comes from those listening to him.

The only evidence of this we need is the condition of the apostate church today. Most people who attend these gatherings cannot repeat back to anyone the gospel. They are often embarrassed to do so if they did know it.

Never trust one man for your theology, trust only Jesus Christ, His Word the Bible, and the Holy Spirit that lives in you. No preacher could teach you better than the Holy Spirit can, let that sink it, please.

Psalm 118:8
"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man."

Micah 7:5
"Put no trust in a neighbor; have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth against her who lies in your arms;"

Jeremiah
"Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord."

Psalm 118:9
"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes."
(this would include your president or any other world leader)

Psalm 40:3-4
"He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!"

Save only your praises for God Himself, never for any man!
