AT THE CENTER

Today’s Scriptures

17 And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them. 18 Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people. Romans 16:17-18 (NLT)

Today's TO DO 

Keep Christ at the center of all you say and do.

How do you judge the authenticity of content that you are exposed to? Do you have a yardstick on which you measure the character of every person that you allow to speak into your life? Unfortunately, not every speaker delivers a message that has your best interest at heart. Scammers, schemers, and liars have arisen in The Lord’s name with a self-serving gospel at the heart of their ministries. As such, we must learn to separate the lies and the Truth. We should be able to decern Light out of the darkness. The more we study The Word of God, the less likely we will be fooled with false doctrine.

Therefore: Keep watch to ensure that Christ is at the center of the content or the interactions you are being exposed to. Where there is Light there can be no darkness! Sound doctrine will always glorify Christ and not the man behind the microphone. Solutions offered must be based on biblical principles and remain Christ elevating at every turn. Above all, let the lives of the people you are listening to and ‘following’ show evidence of The Father’s hand of Mercy. Let their testimonies prove that they have truly experienced God’s loving presence.
