[Jde 1:4 ESV] 4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
NOTE: The church is not all it seems. Jesus made a similar comment that the seed would grow into such a big tree that even the birds would rest in its branches. The only problem is that in context, the birds were the ones who would take the seed (the word) from the path so that it could not grow. There are certainly many false believers in our church. There are also many who are simply deceived. They truly think they are believers but have never experienced a radical change by the entry of the Holy Spirit into their life. They mimic the philosophy of the world or maybe even some religious sounding conservative philosophy, but that does not indicate they have been born again. Lord, open their eyes if possible, and open our eyes to see their false teaching.
PRAYER: Father protect me from the philosophy of the world. I want to hold true to truth. I don't want to fit the world view into my faith. I want to fully stand up for truth. Help me to understand truth and to be bold with truth.
