The Captain of Camouflage - Love Worth Finding - January 29
January 29, 2025 – The Captain of Camouflage
Matthew 7:15-17
Sermon: 1710 Beware the Wolves
Pray Over This
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.”
Matthew 7:15-17
Ponder This
Satan is the captain of camouflage. He is the master of deceit. Again and again, the Bible warns us of false prophets.
Some say the Bible is not true, the Bible is a bundle of blunders, or the Bible is a book of lies. But even in their attempts to dismiss the Bible, they do not point out falsehood—they authenticate the Bible. If there were no false prophets, the Bible would not be true. The Bible says they’re coming and to beware. These things confirm and authenticate our faith.
There are many today trudging to churches, but they do not hear salvation by Jesus’ blood preached. But many will not call those who neglect this teaching false prophets. I don’t care how great of a speaker he is. I don’t care how many good works he does in the neighborhood. If the Gospel of Jesus is not the center of all things, it is false teaching. People can be fooled by a nice building, but God knows the sincere places of worship, the places that seek Him over a name for themselves or the desires of their hearts.
- What are some ways to discern if the teaching you hear is true or false?
- What are some things that distract us from seeking discernment?
