Spotting False Teachers

Spotting False Teachers

My what big ears you have, Grandmother!

The better to hear you with, my dear…

From our earliest days, we have been taught that things are not always as they seem. Sometimes what looks like a sheep is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Jesus coined that term when He said, “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves.” (Matthew 7:15).

Wolves in sheep’s clothing have been around since the earliest times of God’s people. Among many other passages, the second chapter of 2 Peter is entirely dedicated to warnings on this issue. Listen as we look at Peter’s message to Christians on how to identify false teachers among them.
