Things are not always as they seem; and Jesus shares what to look for in identifying false prophets. These are false teachers, ravenous wolves, who seek to feed and save themselves, rather than feed and protect the flock.

Isaiah describes a bed too short to stretch out on and a blanket too narrow to keep warm (Isaiah 28:20). It is God’s picture of false security—things that appear sufficient until we try to rest in them.

NARROW BED & SHORT BLANKET A warning God built right into everyday life PROLOGUE A long time ago, I accompanied my oldest son on a “Father Son” camping expedition. That night, a cold wind blew and it came in under the edges of our tent and down the neck of my sleeping bag. Needless to say, I ...read more
