Pastor Erwin Lutzer, Senior Pastor at Moody Church in Chicago does a great job giving us specific signs to look for when we are seeing/hearing the rapid proliferation of false prophets AND teachings at levels spoken of by Jesus Himself in Matthew 24 to describe how deep and wide it would go in the days leading up to His return. We ABSOLUTELY MUST JUDGE these people and what they both DO and DO NOT teach, for most often they will use just enough truth to "sound" legit, BUT it's twisted to match THEIR theology or doctrine that is FALSE. So you can see the ABSOLUTE NECESSITY of our KNOWLEDGE OF OUR BIBLES!!!

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN??? And if we think that living here in America, with all of our freedom and access TO God's word; that Jesus will NOT hold us accountable for KNOWING that word to the best of our ability? And remember, because Christ certainly does: WE MAKE TIME FOR WHAT MEANS THE MOST TO US!
And please don't take this as an insult against those of you who work out and exersize and all that good stuff-nothing wrong with that, but everything in moderation, because we humans can make just about ANYTHING an idol and then do EVERYTHING to deny that truth. But here is what Paul, or God through Paul actually, had to say about it; "For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
I'll let Pastor Lutzer take it from there. PLEASE LISTEN! WE are living is VERY DANGEROUS DAYS and need everything we need to fight our invisible enemy and endure until the end!
