The Bubble

There is a danger in the church today, but it is not really new. It has been there for 2,000 years. But it's getting far worse.

We don't like all of the woke garbage being taught in our pubkic schools so we home school our children, right? That's good and all, but there is still a danger.

I watched an apologetics video recently that began by talking about a remote Brazilian tribe called the Nambikwara. 

The Nambikwara were first contacted in 1770 (256 years ago) but did not experience prolonged contact with Europeans until the early 20th century, when Brazilian army official Marechal Cândido Rondon passed through Nambikwara territory to extend the telegraph lines. He estimated that there were around 10,000 Nambikwara. Shortly after contact with European Brazilians, epidemics of measles and smallpox decimated the population to only 500 around 1930. - Wikipedia

A similar thing is happening in the church today as false teachers bring their "disease" of false doctrine into the flock. This is not good as church members soon start exhibiting symptoms and their beliefs deconstruct. So, what can we do?

Read and study your Bible. It is the best source of truth out there. God does not lie.

"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." - 2 Timothy 3:16

Teach the next generation about the dangers of these false teachers. 

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." - 1 John 4:1

Educate yourself about these false teachers and their doctrine so you will recognize it, should it sneak in.

"Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way." - Psalm 25:8-9

Things in these last days are only going to be getting worse. Be on your guard. Watch out for the wolves. Protect your bubble!

And pray.
