Five Minute Friday | The Dangers of False Teaching

In our culture, there is something dangerous, but we don’t often see it as such. It is something that can slowly, one small step at a time, take us down a path that leads us away from Jesus, even if it happens under the disguise of following him. And that something is the dangerous message of false teaching.

False teachers are not new, men and women who wish to twist and use scriptures as they desire have been around for as long as there has been scripture to misuse. In second Peter 2, he starts with this, “But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.”

So this is not a new problem. But in our online world, in our soundbite world, where so many seek out messages that fit in a meme, in my opinion this problem is getting worse, not better. In today’s episode I’m going to dig into this idea of false teaching and why it’s so dangerous, so let’s get started.
