0:00.0 | Welcome to the Feminid podcast. This is Nancy Wilson. |
0:09.1 | Thanks so much for joining me today. The topic today is just a word that occurs quite a few times |
0:15.9 | in the New Testament, particularly spoken as a warning by the Lord Jesus. And that is the word beware. What does that |
0:25.4 | word mean? It means be wary, be wary, heads up for danger, especially those things that wear a thin |
0:33.7 | disguise. Be aware, watchful, have your guard up. Don't be gullible. Don't be stupid. |
0:40.6 | And so, in other words, watch out for all kinds of trouble. Don't be dumb. In the gospel of Matthew, |
0:48.2 | Jesus is recorded to have used the word beware five times. So here they are. In 713, beware of false prophets who come to you in |
0:57.5 | sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. So these men are false. They're wearing a |
1:04.1 | disguise, so be cynical. They may talk the talk of the Christian faith, but they're looking to devour you. So don't assume |

1:29.3 | They insist that you're heretical, hoping you'll be punished by the, quote, official church. |
1:34.4 | And yes, this still happens today. So beware. In 166, Jesus said to them, take heed and beware |
1:42.3 | the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. |
1:46.4 | The Pharisees and the Sadducees, as you know, were the Orthodox religious men of the day. |
1:51.0 | But beware and pay attention. |
1:53.4 | We have a responsibility to check things out and not to take everything at face value. |
1:59.5 | They have some leaven that will spread even to you if you are |
2:03.3 | not careful. In chapter 16, 11, and 12, Jesus said, how is it you do not understand that I speak, |
2:11.4 | how is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread, but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and |
2:19.9 | Sadducees. Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, |
