Fighting the Four Evils

" For the joy of the Lord is your strength " (Nehemiah 8:10). False teaching is dangerous because it teaches error, which destroys a person's right understanding of God and His ways. Without a right understanding of God, and His ways, one's relationship with God will be damaged, and even destroyed. One will not be able to have unity with God, which is the source of joy, from which one's strength of derived. True strength does not and cannot come from the arms of the flesh. Anything of the arms of the flesh is fallible and cannot be absolutely relied upon. Only God's strength can be absolutely and perfectly relied upon because He is the Creator of the Universe. That is why the Bible says: With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah (2 Chronicles 32:8). Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh f...

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ (Jude 1:4). False teachers are full of lawlessness and seek to push their lawlessness onto others. The Bible warns about them because they infiltrate the Church and attempt to pervert Church teaching. They are extremely deceptive, and deceive many, who do not even realise that they are deceived. Their deception is often very subtle. They deceive not by outright lies, but by subtle lies that underlie their doctrines, which shape one's mindset, often without realising it.  Such lies have caused many to fall into spiritual bondage and which tempt people to sin, not because they seek to sin, but out of frustration, discontentment, anger, or pain.  For example, many false teachers in the contemporary context do not explicitly say, but effectively imply by t...

Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers (Matthew 23:1-4). Many people in the modern Church love to point out how legalistic the Pharisees in the Bible were. However, many people  do not realise that they themselves are like Pharisees, in imposing their own rules, views or expectations which are merely of their own human perspective, onto other brothers and sisters in Christ. Their teachings are not merely unbiblical, but erroneous and extremely dangerous. This is because they will cause people to deviate  from doing the Will of God, hindered from flourishing in doing the Will of God, and be subject to spiritual bondage....

There are many teachers who claim to be Christians and who teach about Christian living. Many of them teach specific target audiences, and how certain areas of Christian living such be done, such as work, marriage, child-rearing and child discipline. However, many of these teachers impose specific rules which are not found in the Bible as to how people should live or not live. As a result, they claim that the Bible teaches something when it does not, and are therefore in error. Such spiritual error is dangerous because it will hold people in bondage to false teaching. Examples of false teaching include the teaching that ministry work is more holy, righteous, and God-glorifying that non-ministry work, that people must enter full-time ministry work if they are unmarried, that women cannot be called to work in certain arenas like business and academia, and that people must marry and have a family to holy and righteous. Such teaching is either explicit and implicit in many churches and...

There are many professing teachers of the Word of God, who claim to serve God. 1 Peter 2:1-2 warns: But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. Indeed, there are many false teachers who claim to be servants of God but are really just servants of the devil. Anyone who has heard the teachings of many different teachers will have encountered a false teacher.   The purpose of a teacher is to edify the body of Christ so that she may come into the knowledge of Christ in the fullness of Christ: And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;   For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of ...
