Proverbs 13:17
We are called to be faithful ambassadors for Christ in a hostile and godless world. We are the representatives of a heavenly country in which dwells righteousness. To be faithful to the message is not only to be faithful to God, but also to dying humanity. While the world would have us compromise on issues like sin, the holiness of God, and the exclusivity of Christ, we will not—because to do so would be to their eternal detriment. Those wolves in sheep’s clothing who do compromise are wicked messengers who fall into the worst of mischief. May we, in contrast, live to hear the words “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:23). Do I know the scripture well enough to recognize unsound doctrine? What unsound doctrines are most common in today’s world?
