Pathways of The Lord
(Acts 21:1-14) There is a proverb in Proverbs 16:9 which says, The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps. In this section of Acts we see how this proverb worked out in the life of Paul. Paul planned to go to Jerusalem in spite of the fact that at every…

False Spirits
(Acts 16:16-18) Do not believe everything you see and hear! That is the warning we get from this section of scripture. There is truth and then there are words and teachings that sound like truth but are not. Paul discovered this when he was in Philippi and was being followed by a slave girl who…

Take Heed That No One Leads You Astray
(Mark 13:3-8) When the disciples ask Jesus about the signs of the end and his second coming, Jesus commenced his discussion with these words, “Take heed that no-one leads you astray.” (Verse 5) This warning was not for the disciples at that time as much as it is for us in this time and this…

Beware the Leaven of the Pharisees
(Matthew 16:5-12) We see here that Jesus has just left the Pharisees and is warning his disciples to beware the leaven of the Pharisees.
