Early Morning Warning

Greetings!

The Holy Spirit woke me this dark icy morning to deliver a stern message:
"I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and about what is evil." Romans 16:17-19

The writer Paul doesn't mix any words, does he? And neither should we! By being "innocent about what is evil" we are taking no part in the misguided efforts of others and are being wise to their true selfish intentions. Lord, I pray that you will open the eyes of our hearts to see your righteous ways and follow closely to them, for we know you love humility, purity, and unity. Please open our ears to hear your Words and give us the strength to turn from those words which seek to deceive us. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
