Every Wind of Doctrine

Ephesians 4:14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,

• ·         We need to be so careful today of the ideas and philosophies that go around today.
• ·         We need to be so careful with the heresies that go around today dressed in a form of godliness but denying its power.

The church today is slipping away from being Bereans who check everything anyone says with the truth of scripture and taking it as Gods word just because it has a couple versus added to what they say. 

I say all that because we can get so consumed when it comes to end time prophecy, and there are many websites that put out what they believe as truth but in the end it lacks clarity. There are teachings out there that are denying the rapture of the church, denying the realities of hell, putting their view above that of the Word of God, and these websites pull people in who are not checking what they say as right, they are not being discerning and then they come to church and pass out info on it.

We need to be students of the Word of God and not follow every wind of doctrine, and there are millions out there.

What we need to do if we hear something – ask?

1.       Does it line up with Scripture?

2.       What are their resources?

3.       What other websites do these people approve of?

4.       Is it glorifying man or God?

Our Lord is not a God of confusion, when we diligently seek out what His Word says, He will give us clarity.
