Defeating Deception Through Discernment

Listen to podcast audio:

How do you learn to recognize deception? You study the truth so thoroughly that anything else stands out as a lie. This week, Keith Holloway urges every Christian to stay alert in the fight against deception.

Key Points from the Podcast

  • Jesus warned his disciples to pay attention because many would come in his name and deceive many.

  • Most deception begins as things spoken that are contrary to the truth of God’s Word.

  • The way we combat deception is by knowing the truth.

  • God’s Word will teach us proper doctrine and righteous living, equip us for good works and correct us when we’re wrong.

  • Every believer has been given a measure of discernment and should be operating and growing in it to edify the body of Christ.

  • Bible study is more than something you do once a week for an hour at a church member’s house. We need to be in Word of God daily.
