Beware!

10 Nov Beware!

We are in a battle in Fundamentalism.  We are fighting against those who attack the Scriptures.  We are fighting against those who attack our Savior.  We are fighting against those who attack the Saints.  With all of the spiritual battles we face from without, it is a terrible thing to have to fight these battles within.  The Bible states in Jude 4, “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

I am afraid that our Baptist churches are being assaulted by the individuals listed in Jude 4.  As pastors, we need to be constantly on guard against false doctrine and ungodly influences.  We need to root out such things the minute we are aware of them.  I am thankful for men of God who stand for the truth of God’s Word and fight the battles that are still worth fighting.  Unfortunately, there are many churches whose problem is their pastor.  What is a church to do when their leader is the wolf?  Heaven forbid that good churches would have this problem.  God says in Jude that we are to build up ourselves in the faith, pray in the Holy Ghost, keep ourselves in the love of God, and look for the mercy of the Lord.  Beware of wolves…
