Matthew - Day 12: The Sermon on the Mount Pt. 5

Read Matthew 7:21-29

Jesus tells us to have a firm foundation on the Word of God so we can recognize false prophets. Often the false prophets in 2018 are not out and out adversarial but just ideas that do not conform to the Word of God. Consider trends like “if it feels good do it” or “this is right for me”. Political correctness often involves whitewashing issues that run against the Word of God and it is easy to begin to embrace these notions and make them a part of our life without realizing them.

Q: How is your personal study and growth in the word of God? You are doing this study guide, that is great! Is there anything else that may help you grow in the knowledge of God and His story?
