Two words seem to jump out at you in God’s Word from time to time: “Beware” and “Do not be deceived.” They are important warnings designed to grab our attention about the dangers in living out the Christian life.

I used to play a game as a kid where you would close your eyes and then let a friend guide you with their voice. You had to trust them. But sometimes you had some prankster friends who would guide you into a puddle or ditch or into rose bushes or other potentially harmful places. You thought their guidance could be trusted until you found yourself in a mess.
