Stay in Truth

See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he promised us- eternal life. I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. 1 John 2:24-26

Many receive Christ, with joy. On Sunday I attended my son's church at Logan in Brisbane. I saw many go forward for salvation after hearing a message about the three little pigs, it was a children's service. My eldest grandson was up on stage in the children's choir, as was my youngest grandson.

The pastor spoke about the three types of people: the fool who says in his heart there is no God; the Christian who becomes deceived; and lastly the Christian who builds his life on the rock, a good solid foundation, Christ, and goes on to maintain his Christianity.

It was a simple, yet effective message, one that my 6 year old grandson listened to and could talk about at dinner that night. Yet there was a man sitting beside us in church who went to sleep.

So many things will entice us away from the truth, staying in truth is tricky ( as my grandson would say).

If we are wise we know ourselves and how our enemy works in us. What is your Achilles Heel? Is it your flesh and it's appetites? This is a biggie today, so much is thrown at us, to ensnare and trap us.

Are you easily deluded into thinking, like Eve, that if you partake of this or that, that you will be like God, knowing good and evil? Knowledge puffs up. However, knowledge can be a snare. I prefer to know Him, not about Him, but Him alone because He is truth.

As you know Him you know yourself and as you know yourself you know your enemy. Get smart! Know Him! He is the Way; the Truth; the Life. amen!
