Who would have imagined that there would come a day when a store would sell women’s bathing suits with extra “tuck” material?
Who could have believed that our culture would go so far as to consider passing a law that would give children of any age the right to transgender care or an abortion without parental consent?
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
1 Timothy 4:1-5
This is why we’re beginning to see pastors and spiritual leaders giving in to delusion of this culture; moving away from the infallibility of Scripture and begin teaching that we should “untether” ourselves from the Bible as the foundation for our faith.
Then they will give their attention to another faith; they will “give heed to seducing spirits”.
This means they will begin giving their attention to misleading and deluding spirits; purposefully turning their attention away from the faith that was “once for all delivered to the saints”.
How should disciples of Jesus Christ respond to times like these in which we live?
I address this very subject in today’s podcast:
