BEWARE these leaders

1 Timothy 1:3

King James Version

3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, 

when I went into Macedonia, 

that thou mightest charge some 

that they teach no other doctrine,


The Bible warns us about certain kinds of people.

Who pose as leaders.

Intending to cause harm, not good.

Intending to cause confusion, not clarity.

SPIRIT and Scripture are clear.

Here's what you need to be aware of --

Every time you vote, or look to a "leader".

Anywhere you may be in the world.

In whatever situation you're in.


BEWARE their lies, and deception.

John 8:44-45

King James Version

44 Ye are of your father the devil, 

and the lusts of your father ye will do. 

He was a murderer from the beginning, 

and abode not in the truth, 

because there is no truth in him. 

When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: 

for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, 

ye believe me not.


BEWARE the "craftiness" of these men and women.

Ephesians 4:14

King James Version

14 That we henceforth be no more children,

tossed to and fro, 

and carried about with every wind of doctrine, 

by the sleight of men, 

and cunning craftiness, 

whereby they lie in wait to deceive;


BEWARE their man-made philosophies.

Colossians 2:8

King James Version

8 Beware lest any man spoil you 

through philosophy and vain deceit, 

after the tradition of men, 

after the rudiments of the world, 

and not after Christ.


BEWARE their "doctrines of devils".

1 Timothy 4:1-2

King James Version

4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, 

that in the latter times 

some shall depart from the faith,

 giving heed to seducing spirits, 

and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; 

having their conscience seared 

with a hot iron;


BEWARE their covetousness, at your expense.

2 Peter 2:3

King James Version

3 And through covetousness 

shall they with feigned words 

make merchandise of you: 

whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, 

and their damnation slumbereth not.


Charles Spurgeon has a vivid description of them:

"These Philistines have intruded into our temple

under the pretense of trimming our lamps

but their aim is to put them out."


Please don't fall into these false prophets, and antichrists' traps.

They glorify themselves, never GOD.

They enrich themselves; never you.

That's how you discern what they are.


A born again only looks to JESUS.

We've put our faith in Him.

He is the ONLY LEADER we follow.

Because He is authentic.

John 1:17

King James Version

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.


Believers follow the ONLY TRUE GOD.

And when you do that, leadership's got a chance.

The world need not fall into ruin.
