Real Real.



Test everything. Hold on to the good.1 Thessalonians 5:21

According to published reports in the mid 1980’s U.S. Intelligence discovered that North Korea had acquired a sophisticated printing press called the intaglio. The press is similar to the ones the US uses to print money. The US government believes North Korea has been using this press to print counterfeit money so high quality it fools experts. Millions of the fake dollars officially known as Note Family – C14342 are believed to have been circulated worldwide. As Christians, we must be careful to make sure we are followjng sound doctrine.

Listening is a passive act. There is no action required. If you are within earshot of something being said, the sound reaches you. Reading, studying, praying and seeking out instruction all require action on the part of the believer. We live in a world filled to overflowing with ideas, theories, philosophies and doctrines. Many of these are contrary to the teachings of the Bible and ultimately lead to destruction. Make sure before you accept what is being said you test it against the word of God and try it by the Holy Spirit which is within you.

My prayer for you today is that you become an active rather than passive Christian.

Deacon Larry
