Topic: Deception
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (I Timothy 4:1-3 KJV)
Today, we began to see many tragedies are happening in both Christianity and secular worlds. Some Christians have left their faiths and decided to follow the world. It is sad to hear that one of Christians have left his faith in Jesus Christ and decided to follow Allah (god of Islam). It is also sad to hear that some church leaders may able to deceive their congregations with the lukewarm message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Nowadays, we hear that Christianity and Islam may consider as the equal religion as Catholicism and Christianity. This is very danger of religion combination. Yet, TBN Founder, Paul Crouch, sells some Islamic books in TBN Bookstore, such as Koran/Holy Bible (companion bible). We also see some preachers caught by the media on their mistakes.
What’s happening in the world? America had been a great economy nation; yet, we see that she is falling apart. Since the 9/11/2001 tragedy, almost 100,000 Christians turned to faith of Islam. Why? The Islam explained that they have the power to destroy the nation. They wanted America to surrender their faiths.
Even though God allows the deception that tests our faiths, we must keep our faiths in Jesus Christ.
