2 Peter 2:3 Sex, money, and ...............

Good morning God and everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

2 Peter 2:3 "In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed."

Wow!! Does this ever relate to current day life! Just look around at our politicians, president and cabinet, and then cast a glance to the past at the presidents and politicians. It matters not who you support nationally, state wise, or locally, there are people who will line their own "lusts." Lusts meaning their personal agenda.

Peter gives three warning signs for identifying false teachers. First is IMMORALITY! Do their lives contain or condone immoral practices? Does the group listening to the false teachers have a lot of immoral sexual relationships?

Second is GREED! Is money the group's prime motivator? Before you send money to any cause, evaluate it carefully. Is the teacher, preacher, politician clearly serving god or merely promoting his/her own interests? Will this money promote valid ministry, or will it merely finance further promotions or extravagant lifestyles?

Third is LYING! Is the leader offended when you ask for the scriptural backing behind his/her statements? Does he/she fudge on the facts when asked for evidence? Today health care WILL support abortions. Is this scriptural.

Believers today would do well to heed Peter's warning against false teachers; the danger is great. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
