Deceived by

2 Corinthians 11-13

Paul traveled to Corinth and labored among the Corinthians to introduce them to the Good News of Jesus Christ. After leaving Corinth to continue spreading the Gospel, it came to his attention that his proselytes have been taught other doctrine as truth...
But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent. You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.
Sadly, the great deceiver is still at work in the world. A recent poll shows that more and more Americans identify themselves as non-religious... not followers of any religious belief. They would have you to believe that they are spiritual, just not religious... because they have been deceived into thinking that there is meaning in a spirituality bereft of God. Truth may not be in vogue today, but he who is the truth shall reign regardless.
