Serving their bellies or God? How to help discern between false and true teachers.
Om episode
This message is filled with a lot of heeding, warning and encouragement for us as to being wise to who we are listening to, learning under and even “following” online. Preachers, evangelists, prophets and ministries are popping up everywhere, and sadly many of them have selfish motives behind what they are doing. This is nothing new sadly when it comes to the church. Pastor Josh opens up about his own “falling short” of using discernment in the situation with Ravi Zacharias, whom Pastor Josh has attributed lots of his growth in the faith. Ravi was sound in much of his teaching, and used intelligent but never preached a complete gospel and did not live a life of integrity that coincided with it which makes him a false teacher. Pastor Josh will explain more of this in the message. Please share with your friends. God through His word gives your pastors and teachers the authority they have in the church, but that authority is governed, based and structured on the word. The word keeps those in positions of authority in “check” and you are called to be a position of accountability.
