Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits."- 1 Corinthians 15:33
It seems like everywhere you look these days, someone is pushing a new philosophy—one that won't offend anyone, exclude anyone, or make any absolute claims about anything. According to some, all religions lead to heaven, and there are no eternal consequences for our actions. Others believe in karma, the false theory of reincarnation. Unfortunately, these beliefs are not just floating around on the pages of an obscure alternative book or in a few clips of a late-night television show; they are in our face. There are popular sitcoms based on these beliefs and bestselling books making these false claims. They are inescapable but not unconquerable.
As Christians, we have to be careful what we read, listen to, and watch on TV, for satan's deception through false teaching is ever so subtle and cunning, even able to capture the mind of a believer if he is not grounded in Scripture.
The Bible tells us that in order to stand strong against this deception "you must continue in the things which you have learned . . . the Holy Scriptures" (2 Timothy 3:14-15). We must keep ourselves grounded in the Word of God, for it is our weapon against the rampant satanic philosophies of the day.
In the midst of the deception, there is the Truth.
