“No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.  Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds” (2 Corinthians 11:14-15).

Be on guard against those who have a new insight, or express something other than the simple truth that Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected from the dead.  You can read this from Scripture.  Then pay attention to what the wicked have done ever since.  It is the same thing repackaged.  Turn to Jesus and ask for Him to lead you into all truth.  There is nothing new under the sun.

Lord, help me listen to You and those whom You send to preach the true Gospel.  Let me see through all of the nonsense that has gone on all along that I may humbly and truly come to You, through You, and with You wherever You lead.  Guide me in Your goodness to know that in You alone do I have hope and a future.  You alone are the One who saves and You alone are the One who is true.

Lord Jesus, You said definitively that You are the way, truth, and life.  Lead me in Your goodness to see that in You is all hope and a future.  Help me to not fall into the traps set by the wicked one that I may follow the simple Gospel of truth You have made known.  Let me not chase after the nonsense offered in this world that I may abide in You and You in me now and forever.  Amen.
