Who Are You Following?

It amazes me sometimes how quickly the Body of Christ is turning away from the truths of the Bible. We are turning away from the Truth in order to satisfy our own selfish desires. We are paying more attention to what the world thinks about us and our beliefs than we are paying attention to the Lord.

Even our leaders our compromising the Word of God. They are sanctioning outright sin in some cases and leading God's people away from what is right.

It is so important for us to be on guard. We should always make sure what and who we are following is in agreement with God's Word. The source of what we build our faith on should be God's Word, nothing else and nothing less.

Jesus lamented the state of His people while He was on earth. And a large reason for their position was because of their leaders. The Pharisees, Sadducees, and priests were caught up in rules, money, and status. They were so concerned with their own selfish desires that the people were left wanting both physically and spiritually.

And when the Truth came in their midst, the Jewish leaders were blind. Instead of recognizing Who was among them, they ridiculed Jesus, questioned His teachings, and plotted His demise. There is only the mention of Nicodemus, a Pharisee, who came to Jesus in the cover of night who recognized that Jesus had to have come from the Lord. (John 3:2)

Who are you following? Are they pointing you to the Truth of God or are they compromising the gospel? Are they willing to follow the Word no matter how much it clashes with the world's view? Are they explaining away the Truth of the Bible, or are they holding firmly to what it states?

Make sure that you are following after a leader who follows what God says, not man. You can't afford to compromise... especially when your soul is at stake.
