Exodus 20: 4

And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours only but also for the whole world...we know that we know Him if we keep His commandments.  He who says, "I know him," and does not keep His commandments , is a liar, and the truth is not in him. -[1 John 2:2-3, 4]  

Any false teacher is one who denies the deity of Lord Jesus.  Especially since we know that we know Him, and, Abba Father, You've made sure that i know Him.  Only You can speak for others--it's not up to me to decide who's got the Holy Spirit these days, though i caught myself thinking about that this morning. i want to hear about preachers and teachers talking about the Cross.  i don't care to see crucifixes hanging on the wall in some dark corner on some wall in some dark hallway.  i experienced this and i remember the creepy feeling i felt.  Jesus carved upon crosses is idolatry.

"You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is on the earth beneath; or that is in the water under the earth..."[Exodus 20:4]

i pray for Andy Stanley, that he may speak and think purely; only God will be able to absolve him.  And Lord may i keep focus on myself and leave no doors open for the enemy.  Give me the strength and the wisdom to fight the evil spirits floating freely around me.  i have had many tendencies to cater to them, to even give them the time of day.  Help me to stay focused and to gain wisdom that only You can grant.  In Jesus' name.  Amen

If and when i feel abandoned, let me not feel bitter; for, deep in my heart i know You'll never leave me nor forsake me.  You didn't even consider it during all those years when You could've turned Your back on me but didn't.  Because of that, there is so much joy in my quiet, seemingly lonesome life now.  All the praise goes to You.
