How can we avoid deception? In this episode, we explore scriptural warnings about falsehood, including the revelation of the Lawless One (often called the antichrist), the spirit of lawlessness already at work, and counterfeit signs and wonders.
A major focus is placed on false doctrines—both doctrines of devils, designed to turn people from Christ, and doctrines of men, which promote self-righteousness over true reliance on Christ. Though they may seem wise, they lack power to restrain sin.
Discover how to recognize deceptive teachings by their traits: twisting scripture, burdening believers, closing the kingdom of heaven, neglecting central biblical themes, covering up sin, leading people away from Christ, and fostering pride instead of humility.
Most importantly, we share practical ways to guard against deception—loving the truth, discerning your heart, being open to correction, seeking wisdom from the Holy Spirit, prioritizing sound doctrine over personal desires, and embracing orthodoxy over novelty. Join us as we explore how staying anchored in Christ protects us from deception.
