Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his life,

let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today,

Pastor Chuck continues with Beware of False Profits, as we pick up in Matthew, chapter 7, verse 15.

And now with today's message, here's Pastor Chuck.

We are told to Beware of the False Profits because they will come in sheep's clothing.

Now let me also say, one of the dangers of the false profits is that they do tell the truth the majority of the time.

You know, if a false prophet told nothing but ridiculous, absurd things,

they would be no danger at all. The first time he spoke, the first

sentence he uttered would be so ridiculous as, oh that guy's off the wall he's a false prophet so they

usually come on with truth they have all of the markings and all of the earmarks of a true prophet and much of what they say is truth.

Now, much of what Herbert Armstrong says is truth.

Much of what the Jehovah Witnesses say is truth.

Much of what Joseph Smith said was truth. So you cannot immediately always discern a man who is a false

prophet. For he oftentimes is leading people with the truth and is drawing people by the truth.
