False Christian teachings, trends….
The following 2 minute devotional by J. C. Ryle uses scripture to warn those who fail to check their preachers words against scriptures, as the apostle Paul encouraged believers to do. Jesus asked, in the gospel of Luke, 6:39, “Can a blind man lead a blind man, will they not both fall into the pit?” He was talking about false religious teachers and their hearers.

Psalm 50:15 [ESV 2011] and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” The believer’s present portion: trouble; his constant privilege, prayer; his future prospect, deliverance… Present: expect trouble; trouble springs up all around us in myriad forms: in mind, circumstances, body…from almost every quarter …We are poor pilgrims, this world is not our home; nor our country – we are strangers and aliens …Every day, trouble. Everything declares, “Happiness is not in me!” Only in Jesus is solid peace, holy satisfaction, and permanent comfort
