There are SO MANY who are great at teaching you what they know about God.
Sadly, few of those are really able to tell you about just simply KNOWING God.
Knowing about God, and knowing God…not the same thing.
Not even close.
 
Today’s scripture tells us this is nothing new.
What we see today has been an issue from the very beginning.
But the Lord has given us ways to recognize this, and defeat it.
 
☆ You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
• Matthew 7:15-20
 
COVID was a small hiccup for the church.
Every single one across the country had to shut down, and they all did.
But when they opened back up…there was a real shift.
 
As the country was told they had to wear masks just to be next to their grandma,
The masks came off of some of the churches to show how unbiblical they had become.
 
As so many churches lost most of their congregations because of their hypocrisy and worldly messages, a few churches are now exploding due to their biblical truth, and consistent teaching.
Instead of sharing a ‘Name It and Claim It’, a ‘Frame It and Blame It’, a ‘Collective Salvation’ or some ‘Financial Prosperity’ message, these other churches chose to be expository.
Teach THE WORD. The scriptures…The Truth
 
And people are thirsting for THAT TRUTH.
 
So of course those who do not live like that, will be those who envy that, who in turn will condemn that true teaching.
 
☆ In your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.
• Titus 2:7-8
 
Please, know this;
I don’t care if you go to my church…but I care that you go to a solid, healthy and biblically sound church.
 
For that is where you will hear the truth, and it is that truth that will set you free!
 
I love you guys!
