In light of the Harold Camping rapture incident God used Titus to speak to me Sunday morning.
S - vs 16 NAS They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed.
O- vs 5-9 gives a description of the characteristics of elders, vs 10-16 gives a description of false teachers. The reason vs 16 stuck out to me is because it plainly states that a false teacher is going to know all the big words and profess to know GOD but their actions will eventually show different.
That's what I love so much about how God designed believers and unbelievers. Unbelievers/false teachers can pretend all they want and even fool some believers for a while but with time their heart can't be contained any longer. The same for Believers, if we are spirit filled it's impossible to look any different than CHRIST.
A- I've got to start every day with Christ in intentional prayer and intentional reading of His Word so I am spirit filled and I've confessed sin and I'm ready for what he's going to bring me every day. This way I can be able to detect the false teachers and be prepared to give an answer for what I believe is truth.
P- Father help me to design my days and nights so I can get up early enough to be filled with you. I don't want to be fooled by false teachers and I want to be able to stand on Truth! Thank you for giving us your Bible so that we can know truth. Help me to use your truth today to shed light on false teaching.
Have a great Monday!
Karlyn, I will be praying for you as you "design your days and nights" (love how you said that).
ReplyDeletePray mostly that in the "design" it's God focused and not Karlyn focused
