Matthew 7:15-20

““Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their.l fruits you will know them. - Matthew 7:15-20

Dear Jesus,

You always taught the truth. You made my soul your highest treasure. You showed me how to trust the entire Bible. You revealed to me your amazing grace. Now, help me to avoid those teachers who distrust your word, deny your miracles and lead me to depend on myself for salvation.

I love to learn spiritual insights for my growth and maturity. When I am listening to biblical teachers help me be able to tell the difference between cotton candy and pure honey. And when I dared to speak about your truth don’t let me ever say anything false.

Amen

Pastor Don Patterson

Truth is not a wax nose that can be turned this way or that please our fancy.
