He's warning us about two things:\nBEWARE WHO YOU CAN BECOME\nDon't be greedy (storing up wealth while ignoring God)\nDon't be prideful (practicing righteousness to be seen by others)\nBEWARE WHO YOU TRUST\n- False prophets come in sheep's clothing\n- Bad teaching spreads like yeast\n- Don't blindly trust teachers, videos, or even your pastor\nTest EVERYTHING by their fruit and against Scripture\nTHE BEREAN TEST:\nWhen Paul preached, the Bereans didn't just accept it. They went home, checked it against Scripture, then came back and said \"You check out.\" That's supposed to be US with ALL leaders.\nIn today's cultural chaos, people are being driven away from Christ through either total distrust or angry mob mentality. Neither is discernment.\nWe stand in the gap. We lead people to Christ. We need JUSTICE, not mobs. We need DISCERNMENT, not fear.\nBOTTOM LINE:\nTest EVERYTHING against God's Word. Seek truth. The world is getting crazier. We're still called to be here not afraid, standing firm, standing on truth.\n📖 Key Scriptures: Matthew 7:15-20, Acts 17:11, Proverbs 25:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:21","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/QeSOhOM9pdl7ie6YwFiWKrFHSz-rrRbE1NzVv7jCKNA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzIwMDk2LzE2MTc4/MDY0ODctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
