#beware false teachings

[an-unanonymous-messenger]

I ran across an article speaking about how "it says nowhere in the Bible that Jesus died for our sins". This is a heresy. It does indeed say in many places in the Bible that Jesua died for our sins. It even holds record about Jesus foretelling His death many times before He died. All the four Gospel accounts hold evidence of it. It is even written in the Book of the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles. Even the prophecies throughout the Old Testament, from beginning to end. Be careful who you listen to, for he may be a false teacher. You can find it throughout the Bible about Jesus laying down His life as a ransom for the whole world. There is a reason why He said He's the Good Shepherd. As Jesus says, as written in John 10:11 - "I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep." He as our Good Shepherd has authority to lay down His life and to take it back (John 10:18). He did indeed come to give His life for all, and it is finished. Let us therefore turn to our Good Shepherd, Who knows the right way to the Kingdom of God.

Understanding 3 Nephi 14:15-20: A Warning to Beware of False Prophets

Understanding the warning against false prophets in 3 Nephi 14:15-20 can be like standing on the edge of a dense forest, cautious of wolves in sheep's clothing.

Beware of False Prophets: Identifying and Responding to Deception in Faith In 3 Nephi 14:15, we encounter a powerful warning that resonates through time: “Beware of false prophets.” These words aren’t just a cautionary note; they’re a critical reminder of the need for discernment. False prophets often appear as benign or even benevolent figures, cloaked in the guise of truth. But beneath the…

[thewordfortheday]

“Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:15-16

It is so easy to be deceived by false prophets who sound good, and promote good, when they are ultimately destructive. You can tell them by what they omit rather than what they include, omitting from the whole counsel of God. They come as wolves dressed as sheep. The most ravenous of animals disguised as the most harmless of animals. This is the deceitfulness of the false prophets. You will know them by their fruit- their behavior, and their deeds. But the greatest test is their teaching. Does it line up with the Word of God? If not, it is false. This means we must know our Bibles ourselves. The best defense against a counterfeit is to know the original. Let's read the scriptures and be well-versed in it, and be rooted in the truth, so that, when we hear a false teacher, we will be able to discern instantly and flee from them. 

[lionofthegoldsun]

False prophets and false apostles need to step off the stage, shut their mouths and repent. They’re doing more harm than good.

.

.

They must be silenced, because they are turning whole families away from the truth by their false teaching. And they do it only for money.

-Titus 1:11

These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth. To them, a show of godliness is just a way to become wealthy.

1 Timothy 6:5

Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

-2 Timothy 3:5

“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.

-Matthew 7:15

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

-John 10:10

HAMAS Guidelines to Social Media (excerpts)

Anyone killed or martyred is to be called a civilian from Gaza or Palestine, before we talk about his status in jihad or his military rank. Don't forget to always add 'innocent civilian' or 'innocent citizen' in your description of those killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza.

Begin [your reports of] news of resistance actions with the phrase 'In response to the cruel Israeli attack,' and conclude with the phrase 'This many people have been martyred since Israel launched its aggression against Gaza.' Be sure to always perpetuate the principle of 'the role of the occupation is attack, and we in Palestine are fulfilling [the role of] the reaction.'

Beware of spreading rumors from Israeli spokesmen, particularly those that harm the home front. Be wary regarding accepting the occupation's version [of events]. You must always cast doubts on this [version], disprove it, and treat it as false.

The interior ministry prepared a series of suggestions specifically for Palestinian activists who speak to Westerners via social media. The ministry emphasizes that conversations with them should be conducted differently from conversations with other Arabs.

When speaking to the West, you must use political, rational, and persuasive discourse, and avoid emotional discourse aimed at begging for sympathy. There are elements with a conscience in the world; you must maintain contact with them and activate them for the benefit of Palestine. Their role is to shame the occupation and expose its violations.

Avoid entering into a political argument with a Westerner aimed at convincing him that the Holocaust is a lie and deceit; instead, equate it with Israel's crimes against Palestinian civilians.

The narrative of life vs. the narrative of blood: [When speaking] to an Arab friend, start with the number of martyrs. [But when speaking] to a Western friend, start with the number of wounded and dead. Be sure to humanize the Palestinian suffering. Try to paint a picture of the suffering of the civilians in Gaza and the West Bank during the occupation's operations and its bombings of cities and villages.

Do not publish photos of military commanders. Do not mention their names in public, and do not praise their achievements in conversations with foreign friends!

More truth..

People please listen Jesus christ is the way and the truth..no one else is,he is the only way to the father. Theres a bible verse that says and we qoute.

John 14:6

6 "Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

With that being said no one else comes to the father except through Jesus Christ and only jesus christ. That means all these other false gods that are demons dont come to him at all.

Speaking..of false gods..those are demons pretending to be gods even though they are not gods at all..only pretending..

Please people you need to wake up God is the only one who can save you from damnation. You need to come to the gospel the true gospel that teaches what is true and right by the word of God. God is the only God out there.

There is no one above him at all. He is the only true God. Yaweh is the only true God to ever exist. He is self existing he existed in the beginning and made everything. He is the only one who existed in the way beginning then he made everything. He is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient.

Theres a lie..that is told by the devil..and the lie is..is that we can become gods..but we cant..that is a blasphemous lie..that the devil..and his demons had told..no one can become a god at all..us humans dont have that power or ability..its not possible..

Demons are not gods at all..They are false gods that us humans have worshipped in the past and still are worshipping today..

For example idols/celebrities humans are worshipping them like their gods even though they are not. They are just regular human beings they arent gods at all. They cannot save you at all. They have no power or abilities at all. They are just ordinary people but people today worship them.

Now..not for us to change the subject but heres a bible verse..we wanted to share this verse with you guys..and we qoute

Galatians 1:6-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

"But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed."

Heres another one and we qoute

Mathew 7:15

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves."

With that being said Jesus is warning his disciples and his children to be careful of false teachers and false prophets who teach the wrong gospel the gospel full of blasphemous teaching and lies.

Were..telling all of you guys the truth on here because we care..about you guys..and want you guys to be open to the truth..the real truth about God and christ..not the blasphemous lies that these demons..and false prophets/teachers have said..the real truth about God and christ..

We dont want anyone falling in the hands of the devil and ultimately going to hell. We want you guys to have a eternal peaceful life with christ. So with that being said May God bless you all and have a merry christmas.

As You Judge, So Shall You Be Judged

1 “Stop judging, that you may not be judged. 2 For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. 3 Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,’ while the wooden beam is in your eye? 5 You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.

Pearls Before Swine

6 “Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces.

The Answer to Prayers

7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, 10 or a snake when he asks for a fish? 11 If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.

The Golden Rule

12 “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.

The Narrow Gate

13 “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. 14 How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.

False Prophets

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits you will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So by their fruits you will know them.

The True Disciple

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’ 23 Then I will declare to them solemnly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.’

The Two Foundations

24 “Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. 25 The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. 26 And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand. 27 The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined.”

28 When Jesus finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes. — Matthew 7 | New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE) New American Bible, Revised Edition © 2010, 1991, 1986, 1970 Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc.

Beware of False Prophets

In Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus warns us about false prophets who come in sheep's clothing but are inwardly ravenous wolves. He teaches that we will know them by their fruits—whether their actions align with God's truth or lead people astray. This passage reminds us to be discerning and vigilant in our faith.

Daily Devotionals for Friday, February 7, 2025  

Proverbs: God's Wisdom for Daily Living

Devotional Scripture:

Proverbs 6:12-15(KJV): 12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. 13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; 14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. Proverbs 6:12-15(Amplified): 12 A worthless person, a wicked man is he who goes about with a perverse (contrary, wayward) mouth. 13 He winks with his eyes, he speaks by shuffling or tapping his feet, he makes signs (to mislead and deceive)and teaches with his fingers. 14 Willful and contrary in his heart, he devises trouble, vexation, and evil continually; he lets loose discord and sows it. 15 Therefore upon him shall the crushing weight of calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken and that without remedy.

Thought for the Day

Verse 12 - Today's verses characterize the charlatan. A "perverse mouth" belongs to a "slick talker." Many slick talkers lie convincingly to cheat others out of their money through scams and dishonest operations. Many evil people prey on Christians because they are good-hearted. I have even heard wicked men say that Christians are gullible and believe anything. We should ask the Lord to help us discern when someone is trying to cheat us so that we will not be taken advantage of. We should not allow ourselves to be pressured into giving or buying something without first asking the Holy Spirit to guide us.

The Bible warns of charlatans; false prophets that pretend to be Christians. Just because one comes in Jesus' name does not guarantee that he is truly His. "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Even so, every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits, ye shall know them" (Matthew 7:15-20). The Lord instructs us to examine someone's fruit to discern who he is serving. Some good questions are: Would Jesus act this way? Would He do this? If he does not behave in a godly manner, he is, at best, not walking in the Spirit; at worst, he is an emissary of the devil.

Verse 13 - A charlatan might use a lot of body language to express himself. He will often work with partners whom he signals by certain actions to cheat people. This is seen many times in gambling halls and casinos. Christians should not go to these places unless called there by God to share the Gospel. Gambling is a sin that can lead to an addiction that brings much loss and destruction. The Bible tells us we are to live by faith, not by chance or luck.

Verses 14-15 - Wicked men sow discord and mischief among their acquaintances. They will, in the end, be overtaken and broken by calamity. Calamity will come suddenly and unexpectedly; there will be no way out of it or any remedy for it. We must ask the Lord to keep us from getting involved with people of this sort, and from falling into gambling or any other trap that would allow the enemy to rob us. Do you know of anyone like this?

Prayer Devotional for the Day

Dear heavenly Father, we thank you today for keeping us from evil people who would be set on destroying us or our families. Lord, we need Your discernment to help us to know when we should give, and when we should not give to people. We want to be generous, but we do not want the enemy fooling us and causing us to waste our money on the wrong things. Lead us by Your Spirit to know the things we should do, and the things we should not do. Lord, we pray today for our Christian brothers and sisters who are addicted to gambling. Help them to get free and deliver them from all forms of gambling. Lord, show them that Lotto, bitcoin, stocks, etc. are not the answer to their financial problems. Teach them how to manage their monetary affairs according to the Word of God. When we do that, we are promised a blessing from You. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen. From: Steven P.

[an-unanonymous-messenger]

Hey, any docetists here? Anyone? Hello? If there are, explain how your theology fits the Word of God, saying that Jesus Christ indeed came in the flesh? As we all know in Hebrews 9:22, without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. So of Jesus never came, He never bled; if He never bled, we were never forgiven our sins; if we were never cleansed from sin, we are all doomed to die and go to hell for our sins, hence making God a liar in promising us salvation by grace through faith. And don't think anyone could have replaced Jesus on the cross, for as the Law demands, the Passover Sacrifice must be a perfect lamb without blemish. And Jesus Christ was the only One living a sinless life which nobody else could (1 Peter 2:22). And don't try to pull out John 7:8 on me here, for we know that He actually said "not yet" in the original text. The agnostic text of the Sinai Codex is not to be taken seriously here. Jesus is the Son of God, Who saved us through His sacrificial act of love, and Who resurrected from the dead to free us from death. Turn to Him in Spirit and truth, and He will guide you to the true Gospel. Bless you in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour! Amen!

Jaya Kishori's double standards

Jaya Kishori had said that God can be found by chanting "Hare Ram Hare Ram", but she herself chants Om and Om Namah Shivaya. Is this not double standards? There is no mention of such mantras in the scriptures.False teachings of Pseudo Babas

Everyone should beware of the false promises and nonsense talks of these Pseudo Babas. They do not give the correct knowledge of religion and scriptures but mislead people for their personal gains.To find out the truth, watch Factful Debates Channel

To understand the correct knowledge of scriptures and Puranas, watch Factful Debates YouTube channel. The truth of fake babas is exposed there.Fraud in the name of religion

We should be aware of the hypocrisy and lies of the hypocritical babas and follow only the right guidance. It is important to know the true meaning of religion.It is wrong to consider Shiva as omniscient

Considering Shiva as omniscient is against the Puranas. The omniscient is Param Akshar Brahma, who nurtures everyone.

[lilgreeneyes71]

A minister of the devil will not teach that we can sin all we want and still be saved,he is much more subtle than that he saids things like 👇

#1 We are only human we all make mistakes we will continue to sin until the we die day Jesus forgives us".

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

#2 "Nobody can be morally perfect that's

what grace is for".

Jesus said be perfect

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Please beware of any preacher, pastor, or teacher that is teaching us that we cannot live Victorious in Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us even stop sinning

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

[lionofthegoldsun]

[Discerning False Prophets]

Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.

1 John 4:1

.

.

There are numerous of false prophets out there that it’s not even funny. So many Christians are being deceived by them. Always TEST the spirit folks, and ALWAYS make sure what these people are saying line up with scripture. Be like the Bereans who searched the scriptures daily.

And ALWAYS read scripture in CONTEXT. These so-called “prophets” are always reading scripture WAY out of context as well as twisting it to suit their stupid prophecies.

Jesus warned, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15). False prophets will say things that contradict the teachings of Jesus, the Law, the Scriptures, and other prophecies from the Holy Spirit recorded in the Bible. One of the most common false prophecies given by deceivers, especially amongst cult leaders, is they can predict the End of Days, even though the Bible says, “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only” (Matthew 24:36).

So here’s a message for you false prophets:

“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

-Matthew 7:21-23

[BONUS VERSE]

No prophecy ever originated from humans. Instead, it was given by the Holy Spirit as humans spoke under God's direction.

-2 Peter 1:21

[probablynanobots]

Battle of the Brush and Blade

Long ago and left behind,

A battle brewed for hair.

The only fiber warm enough,

For cold babies to wear.

One group decided long ago,

To use what could be found.

They wore fur, hair, and fluffs of wool,

Their own or from the ground.

Another group went out to look,

For what could be used best.

In their travels they shed hairs,

Which got used by the rest.

A group among the travelers,

Learned to wield a blade.

They decided they would rule,

And take what others made.

They were known as Barbers,

The ones that cut and steal.

Barbarians to others,

They could not think or feel.

But rising up against them,

The wielders of the thread.

The healers with their needles,

The revivers of the dead.

Down from the hills came Dressers,

Of plate, body, and head.

The ones who care for saving

What others would see dead.

We cried "NO MORE! This cannot stand!"

"You do not need it all!"

"We must leave some for the land!"

As you might imagine,

This did not go over well.

They called us queer and crazy,

They called us whores and lazy.

The gentle life has little cost,

But Barbers called it hell.

The Dressers Revolt Union,

Was formed to call their bluff.

What worth have Barbs beyond to prick?

Show us how you're tough.

This wool is shed by sheep, not you.

These feathers from peacocks.

These wings are bones of ancient beasts,

Your mother made your socks.

If you steal for your armor,

It will not give you light.

But Dressers' Revolt Uniforms,

Are beasts we've taught to fight.

Our beasts devoured their attire,

Not even they will kill.

We left the Barbers nude as babes,

With only spit to swill.

The Dressers Revolt Union,

Turned Barbers into Clowns.

We showed the world their truth was false,

We pulled their trousers down.

Of course, such things have consequence.

Some Barbs can't take a joke.

Clowns don't always understand,

And even good Clowns choke.

So over time, the story changed.

Because of who talked most.

Our pins and needles had sewn woe,

Our songs had all been boasts.

Our names and voices rendered moot,

Replaced by job alone.

Mother, Nana, Sister, Father, Brother, Prostitute

Sometimes known as home.

Shield, Healer, Student, Purse, Spear, Substitute

When we could safely roam.

Womb, Mate, Teach, Coin, Act, Give

Once we were forced below.

The Dressers Revolt Union

Was driven underground

But rest assured our anthem

Is still echoing around.

If you can hear it, you belong.

If you can play it, share your song.

Fix it and Remix it, we will sing along.

Only non-Union members will say you've got it wrong.

Yes, the Dressers Revolt Union

Identifies Deception,

But we will only point out those who harm.

If your soul's a different shade

Than the body nature made,

Our presence is no cause for an alarm.

But old Barbers still believe in

The stories they were taught.

About the Dressers Union,

And the battles that we fought.

They can't really remember

Why they want to hit the deck.

They wave white and surrender,

Ignorance protects their neck.

The rule that they've forgotten,

Is the reason we attack.

If you meet a Dressers' member,

Don't grab what we hold back.

If we offer, fair and square,

Barbers may cut some of our hair,

If they give back something equal to our worth.

But if shorn without a care,

Barbers should then beware.

Don't think what's ours is yours by right of birth.

What should have our attention?

Ecclesiastes 7:13

Accept the way God does things, for who can straighten what he has made crooked?

John 5:19

So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.”

We should pay attention to what God is doing and the way he is working in our lives and in the world around us.

Hebrews 2:3-4

So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak? And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose.

Luke 8:18

So pay attention to how you hear. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away from them.

1 Corinthians 2:2

For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.

We should pay attention to the message Jesus has for us. What Jesus says is reinforced by who he is—God’s Son. If Jesus was not God’s Son, he would be incapable of raising us from the dead. He would have no power to save us and take us to heaven. Think of the most important person on earth. If that person wanted to talk with you, would you listen? Would you give him or her your full attention? How much more important is the Son of God!

Psalm 119:78

I will concentrate on your commandments.

2 Peter 1:19

Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place—until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts.

God’s Word deserves our attention. Through his Word, God speaks to us and brings us life that last forever.

Proverbs 16:20

Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be joyful.

Proverbs 19:27

If you stop listening to instruction, my child, you will turn your back on knowledge.

Proverbs 22:17

Listen to the words of the wise; apply your heart to my instruction.

Proverbs 5:13

Oh, why didn’t I listen to my teachers? Why didn’t I pay attention to my instructors?

Proverbs 5:1

My son, pay attention to my wisdom; listen carefully to my wise counsel.

It’s essential to pay attention to the instruction we receive from God’s Word and from wise counselors or teachers. If we don’t, we may be turning our backs on God himself.

Matthew 7:15

Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.

Matthew 16:11-12

Why can’t you understand that I’m not talking about bread? So again I say, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’” Then at last they understood that he wasn’t speaking about the yeast in bread, but about the deceptive teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

We must be alert to the deception of false prophets and false teachers, those who twist God’s Word to make it say whatever they want. Pay attention to their wiles, but not their words. If a person is not speaking for God, we should not accept that person’s teaching as from God.

Mark 13:32-33

However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows. And since you don’t know when that time will come, be on guard! Stay alert!

Luke 21:31, 34-36

In the same way, when you see all these things taking place, you can know that the Kingdom of God is near . . . Watch out! Don’t let your hearts be dulled by carousing and drunkenness, and by the worries of this life. Don’t let that day catch you unaware, like a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth. Keep alert at all times. And pray that you might be strong enough to escape these coming horrors and stand before the Son of Man.

1 Thessalonians 5:4-6

But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief. For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don’t belong to darkness and night. So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.

Be prepared for the day when Jesus promised he would return again by paying attention to the way you live. Live as if he is coming back today.

Ephesians 6:18

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

Colossians 4:2

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.

Matthew 26:41

Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!

Your prayer life deserves your focused attention. That’s how you best connect to God himself.

1 Corinthians 16:13

Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.

1 Timothy 4:16

Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.

1 Timothy 4:8

Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.

The growth and strengthening of our spiritual lives deserves our attention. If it pays to exercise our bodies so we keep them healthy, how much more it pays to build our souls so they are healthy.
