Tuesday. [Rom. 4:4–12; Matt. 7:15–21]
Beware of false prophets
(Matt. 7:15). From the beginning of Christianity and to
this day there has not been a time when this warning was
not applicable. The Lord did not indicate exactly which
false prophets to beware of, for how could they be
pinpointed? They change like fashions and are continually
generating more like them. They always appear in
sheep’s clothing, with a likeness of good will in
their deeds and a mirage of truth in their speech. In our
time their clothing is sewn of progress, civilization,
education, freedom of thought and deed, a personal
conviction which does not allow for faith, and such like.
All of this is a deceptive cloak. Therefore, if you come
across this show of clothing, do not be hasty to open your
ears to the words of “prophets” dressed in
such clothes. Examine closely whether there is a wolf
concealed under this sheep’s clothing. Know that the
Lord is the only motivator toward true perfection, the
sole softener of hearts and customs, the sole educator,
the sole giver of freedom and filler of the heart with a
feeling of the truth which forms a conviction so strong
that nothing in the world has the power to shake it.
Therefore, as soon as you perceive in these new
“prophets’s” talk some shadow of
contradiction to the teaching of the Lord, know that they
are predatory wolves, and turn away from them.
