DON'T PUT UP WITH IT!
II Corinthians 11:4, 19
"For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted – you may well put up with it .... For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise!"
Paul's sarcasm is cutting. The Corinthians were "putting up with" doctrines and teachings which were contrary to what he had taught them. These groups are all around us – Unitarians, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses – who preach another Jesus and another Gospel. They are a different spirit. They are tools of Satan who, by his craftiness, corrupts the minds of people in order to draw them away from the true Jesus and the true Gospel. The message is clear: Do not put up with or entertain any doctrine that is contrary to sound biblical instruction.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: The wise person is alert to any teaching which changes the doctrine of Jesus or the Gospel from what is taught in God's Word.

Have a discerning day. Love you.
