Mark 13

"21 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23 But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. "

It is scary when those that deceive us can also come from among us. That there will be deceivers from the elect ones of God. It is indeed true that the word spoken was true and came true. Years ago, there were a group of TJC member who left church in Taiwan because of some disagreements in the way things are done and formed their own group. They influenced many to follow them out. There was a sister from Houston whom I knew that left TJC and followed that group of deserters. I also know another sister who she tried to influence from Dallas, but thank God she was not moved.

During the end times, we have to be especially vigilant. Because "The devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" (1 Pet 5:8). The only way to keep to the truth is to study what the truth is and ask God for the Holy Spirit to guide us in His true path. That no matter how weak the members are at church, how much we disagree with other at church, or how the members have wronged us; as long as the truth is kept in the church, God's church is still God's church. It is our task to encourage the members to return to the right track and to focus on what is more important, the truth.
