A prayer to recognize false teaching by Emily Rose Massey, read by Leah Martin.

As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning.

If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and

in the Father.

This is the promise which He Himself made to us eternal life.

These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you.

As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you and you have no need

for anyone to teach you, but as His anointing teaches you about all things and is true

and is not a lie and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.

First John, 224-27.

Charles Spurgeon once said, the discernment is not knowing the difference between right

and wrong.

It's knowing the difference between right and almost right.

Living in the age of information literally at our fingertips as well as the reality of

fake news means that sometimes it can be just overwhelming to way through what's true

and what's not.

It's also true for Christians when it comes to what's proclaimed as truth from the pulpit.

Charles teaching distorts the Bible in your view about God.

Most often false teaching is a sticky trap for the undiscerning.

It's subtle because it's often masked in truth yet mixed with error.

So we let our guard down because we recognize the truth in it.

Soon that error will begin to distort the truth you may already know.
