Take heed that no man deceive you

For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. —Psalms 119:89

One of my absolute convictions is this: The Bible has already been written and published by the Holy Ghost and no man can alter the truth found within its pages. It says what it means and means what it says. 2 Peter 1:20 says that “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.” In simple terms this means that we had better find out what the Word really teaches because it is a done deal. A trillion “modern day” prophets could agree and teach that the scriptures are saying a certain thing, but unless what they are saying is in harmony with the teaching of ALL the scripture they are wrong! Take heed that no man deceive you.

Someone has well said that in the beginning God made man in his own image and now man has returned the favor! We have made a God that fits the image we feel best suits him. Sad to say, all of this man made interpretation has left us reflecting the very world that we were commanded to forsake. May God have mercy and open our eyes to see that we “art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” Truly He is calling the church ONE LAST TIME to “hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”---Revelation3:20
