Thought For The Day

Getting It Right

Satan is busy. Isn’t there something in the Scripture about him prowling around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour? (see 1 Peter 5:8)

Perhaps the greatest of his tactics is convincing mankind that there are multitudes of ways to salvation, Heaven, right standing with God, llove, joy and peace. Sadly, for those who believe such tripe, they will spend eternity separated from God.

November 20, 2015: As First Baptist Dallas members prepare for services Sunday, they may still be contemplating their pastor’s fierce sermon last week — in which he referred to Islam as a false religion “inspired by Satan himself.” (Dallas Morning News)

Dr. Jeffress is taking a lot of heat for his statement. He is, of course, getting it absolutely right. He did not mention all the other religions that are exactly the same in origin – which includes all of them.

Christianity (genuine) is not a religion. Rather, it is God reaching out to Godless mankind in grace and mercy. I won’t take your time by naming all of those religions (the word “false” is extraneous), but suffice it to say that anyone or group or gathering who teaches anything other than salvation (Heaven, right standing with God, llove, joy, peace, et cetera) is by “grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone,” is one inspired by Satan.

It’s just the Truth. Do with it what you will.
