Don't Be Deceived Series

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Mar 22, 2007

Of all the things scripture expresses concern about, it is "deception" among God’s crown creation.

It concerns the “end of days.” They asked Him, “tell us about the sign of the end.” Jesus’ initial response was almost ominous, “watch that no one deceive you”… Have you ever been deceived? How did ...read more
