Stay Away

 Have you ever known a Christian that would try to argue you the Bible with you? These people are divisive when it comes to spiritual matters. 

Years ago, in our Sunday School class there was a man that actually would get our teacher off the subject each week by wanting to argue and get arguments started.

It was very frustrating for the teacher because he would spend time preparing for each lesson, only to be interrupted by this man.

What is more, this was not the first class that the man had ever done this. He had done the same in another church. He had gone so far in doing it in that first church, that he was asked to leave. Which he did, only to do the same in the church we were attending at the time.

If there is anything the devil loves to do, it is to use people in the church that would try to instigate trouble-any kind of trouble really-to get Christians off the reason they are there in the first place.

Sadly, in most churches today it goes on. Because if we know one thing that is wrong, the devil does not go to church. The fact is, he does. Not to sit in the pews to learn about God. For he knows about Him. After all God created him as well as every other angel in the heavens.

No, the devil goes there to break up whatever truth is being preached and get attention off that and on to his own evil plot.

If he can do that to us, what more can he do?

Perhaps leave the church? How about our faith?

I myself has heard it said. "If that is what being a Christian is, I can have that outside of church. Why go?"

Indeed. Why go?

Titus 3:9 warns us to avoid people like that. It is a waste of time. Not to mention energy. 

And then there is this one:

If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless. James 1:26

So again, I ask you. Have you ever known anyone like this?

Avoid them. for they will do you no good thing.

Thanks for coming by today, friends. Have a blessed day in Jesus!
