But 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. (2 Peter 2:1)
Most of us do not know the seriousness of having false teachers in church. Christ will not tolerate false teachers among His people, and He expects us to follow suit. It is our duty to expose false teachers!
But the thing is, Christians and local churches today often do just the opposite. In the name of love, unity, and acceptance, we tolerate any teacher in person, on television, or through a podcast who claims to be a believer and has an appealing presentation, regardless of what they are teaching. The result has been the development of a careless indifference to the truth.
It’s caused many Christians to view biblical absolutes as being archaic and even embarrassing. Exposing false teachers is an act of love for the church of Christ. As Christians, and especially those who lead them, we must heed Peter’s words and take false teaching seriously and deal with it before it destroys believers.
Doing the Word
Be bold to expose false teaching and teachers.
Prayer
Dear Father, open the eyes of my heart to know the truth of the Gospel and to preach and speak the truth! Give me boldness to expose the lies of false teachers, no matter the cost! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
