Bogus Pastors

Bogus pastors, who do not preach the truth of God, are dangerous and should be a concern to all of us.

1. God commands us not to be drawn by them into a false sense of security. (v.9-20)
2. They are not God's spokespersons, even though they think that they are. (v.21-29)
3. God is against bogus pastors, and God Himself will judge them. (v.30-40)
   Applying: Why are false pastors such a focus of attention for God?
   Who is like a muddied spring? Prov. 25:26, Mt. 12:36,37
   Why must judgment must precede life? Mt. 16:21
   Do we face the constant threat of false teaching? 2 Tim 4:3
