The Whole Truth!

For Sunday, July 28, 2024:

2 Peter 2:1 NLT: “There were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach destructive heresies and even deny the Master who bought them. In this way, they will bring sudden destruction on themselves.”

Sad to say, but false teachers have not gone away. They work for Satan, and his goal is to increase the number of souls who belong to him. He does this by telling lies and creating doubt, thereby increasing the number of backsliders. Beware! Much of what we see in modern churches is simply tradition and habits that have no biblical basis.

And speaking of the Bible, read it as the inspired word of our God who is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Friends, sin doesn’t change! If the Bible says something was sin 3,000 years ago, it’s still sin today! If Jesus called it sin 2,000 years ago, it’s still sin today! God doesn’t change his mind to be politically correct!

When a witness testifies in a court of law, they swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Churches and their pastors should take the same oath. Many teach the truth, but not the whole truth. Controversial topics can be avoided by omission, but that’s not right. A good church will teach the WHOLE truth!

Since this is Sunday, I assume believers will be worshiping today. Bring your Bible, and encourage use of the entire book!
