I was getting my hair cut the other day after much prompting from my wife. It seems I will never have another hair cut for $3.00. Oh well, the good old days. Anyway, as usual when I’m with someone our conversation heads toward Worship and God. It made me realize just how many people are worshiping in a place where they don’t agree with the teaching of that organization. It’s like calling yourself a Republican or Democrat without knowing and/or agreeing what their platform stands for. For the life of me I don’t understand giving yourself a title and attaching to a theology you don’t agree with, just because your parents went there or you like the people at that location.
The Bible clearly states we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ and be held accountable for the things we do or don’t do, so why don’t we take where we attach ourselves more seriously? If we agree with what the Bible says about false doctrine and false teachers, than we should be more concerned about what we are saying by where we are going. Make sense?
If a car salesman was trying to sell you a car and he said it can be yours for only $15,000 at $300 a month but when you sign the contract it says $20,000 at $350 per month, did he lie? After all, the car can still be yours and it’s only a little over a dollar a day, what’s the big deal? It is a big deal. It’s not true. He lied to you. You wouldn’t stand for that and you would demand the price be $15,000 and for your payment be at $300, the agreed upon amount.
If anyone teaches anything other than the Gospel of Christ, he is a liar. If you compare what someone teaches and it is different than what the Bible teaches and you still worship there, than you are promoting a lie, so that makes you a false teacher also. Question what your church teaches and believes. Compare it with the scripture and if it is different, RUN don’t walk. You will be held accountable for what you teach. Share the Good News of Christ. There is no other name under which you can be saved.
