No Fear Of False Cults
January 5, 2018
Ponder This
False cults did not take our Lord by surprise and they ought not to take you by surprise because this world is full of false cults and apostate Christians. There are many who trudge to church Sunday after Sunday whose lives are not changed. And on top of that, they are twice-fold the children of hell because they are in false religions.
I am amazed at how many people who were once in Bible-believing churches are drawn aside because they do not understand our Lord when He said, “Beware of false prophets” (Matthew 7:15).
Friend, we don’t have anything to fear from cults. We don’t have anything to fear from apostate Christianity. Truth is stronger than error. “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
Every now and then I hear people talk about a cult building a church, a center, a temple, or a mosque in their neighborhood and they become fearful. We don’t have anything to fear from them. Instead, we need to have a reverential fear of God so He will turn us from our own lethargy, apathy, and failure to preach the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
