Proverbs 30:5-6
“Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Do not add to His words, or He will rebuke you and prove you a liar.
Today God's Word is being challenged like never before. The Bible is being questioned and undermined even by those in places of church leadership.
This crisis of leadership is manifest in the church of England whereby the bishops have voted to bring in blessings on what God clearly states is wrong.
There is a solemn warning about changing God's Word both in the Old Testament (as above) and in the New Testament:
Matthew 24:35 AMPC
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
Unless we are grounded and anchored in God's Word we will be open to deception and even strong delusion.
2 Thessalonians 2
10b They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
It's futile to lean on tradition or manmade regulations for these are always being revised. If these contradict God's Word, they are useless lies.
So what are we to do when church leaders deviate from Scripture?
We are to stay firmly holding to The Truth and be saved.
Romans 3:3-4 TPT
But what if some were unfaithful to their divine calling? Does their unbelief weaken God’s faithfulness? Absolutely not! God will always be proven faithful and true to His word, while people are proven to be liars. This will fulfill what was written in the Scriptures: Your words will always be vindicated and you will rise victorious when you are being tried by your critics.
Thankfully this crisis has provoked true believers to speak out and defend the faith and God's plan for humanity.
