AVOID THEM
Romans 16:17-18
Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.
Personal Challenge
This passage is so relevant to our world today. It has become so divisive and self-centered, even within the church. Paul tells to avoid those who cause division and offenses that are contrary to the teachings of Christ and ultimately the church. It can be difficult sometimes to recognize who these people are because they can be very crafty in their approaches, but the closer we are to God the more obvious they become. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
