Summary

Fakery, false spirituality and money-grubbing is a multi-million dollar industry. But it's not new. Jesus warned us about these issues in the first century and they just keep coming up again and again. But I don't think we would be wise to limit this warning to an issue that we see in some leaders. We should take seriously the fact that humans seem to have a natural drift from authentic spirituality to impersonated spirituality. From genuine character and godliness to laboring at the appearance of character and godliness. This is something that leaders will probably be tempted with the most but any one of us can fall into. God give us wisdom! This is part 51 of the Mark Series, going verse by verse through the Gospel of Mark. Today we are in chapter 12:38-44 Feel free to use my videos in your own gatherings as an aid to studying Scripture.

this passage that I compare it to what I see happening in the church today and I

0:29.0

think this is exactly what Jesus warned us about He warned us about fake spirituality in our

0:33.4

leadership and about money-grubing preachers. Like he's just really stopped and

0:38.0

just said, hey disciples, watch out for this. And we haven't heard. And we have not paid very good attention to it.

1:19.7

1:28.8
