Chaos

Chaos and deception began in the garden. Eve was given new information, lies from Satan and her mind was swirling. She did not know who to believe. Adam had walked with God and taught Eve directly from God. Now, Satan was twisting God’s truth, making them half-truths. It sounded appealing to Eve, just as the fruit appealed to her senses.

Genesis 3:1 “Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?”

In today’s culture, as a Christian, we need to make sure the truths we are hearing from our pastors, teachers and evangelists are truths from God’s word. Not half-truths. Not a message that is watered down, sugary and pleasing to the ears. Otherwise, chaos will ensue.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 “preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,  and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.”

Let us be on guard against the lies, deception and chaos that makes Satan happy.

Jude 18-19 ““In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions. It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit.”

We are told to guard our hearts and minds. To mature in the faith. Plug in to truth in scripture bible studies. Open God’s word and directly learn from Him.

Jude 24-25 “Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy,  to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.”

Let the peace of God rule in your hearts that we may share the love of Christ with the world that they may not be deceived.
