We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

A Little Leaven . . .


Let us beware of the very small beginnings of false doctrine. Every heresy began at one time with some little departure of truth. There is only a little seed of error needed to create a great tree … It is the omission or addition of one little item in the doctor’s prescription that spoils the whole medicine, and turns it into poison … let us never allow a little false doctrine to ruin us, by thinking it is but a “little one,” and can do no harm.
