Reading: Romans 16, Ezekiel 12-14
Scripture: Romans 16:17-18, “I appeal to you, brothers, to
watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the
doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve
our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they
deceive the hearts of the naive.”
Observation: I have heard the term “Sheeple” many times this
term refers to people who just flock together and just listening to the latest
and greatest thing, believing and chasing after it as long as it is calling
their name and is the shiny new thing. With the mentality of sheeple many
Christians church hope trying to find the next spiritual encounter or seek the
next great teaching. The gospel has not changed in 2000 years it’s in the word.
Application: Paul is telling us to watch out for the shiny
new stuff because it can cause us to falter and be that stumbling block and
obstacle. We need to get ourselves planted in a church that teaches the Bible.
The word always confirms itself. God’s love is all over this book and calls us
to him though it.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for another day to enjoy your
creation. I life us to you those how are being hit with the bad weather across
that country. Protect those who are dealing with that as it comes though. Lord,
I also lift up all those who are out there searching for a church or an
encounter with you, I ask you to lead them to the church you have for them and help
them to see the encounters you have with them and find a church that wont make
them stumble.
