Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
Ephesians 5:6 (NIV)
Sadly, the world is full of people claiming to be Christians who are full of empty words, or as the Common English Bible says, "stupid ideas." These people deceive those who are not strong in their faith in Christ and who do not know and understand the words found in the Bible.
It is so important to make regular reading of the Bible a part of your daily routine, to make hearing sound biblical teaching at least once per week, and to pray and meditate on God's word so that you are protected against the empty words of the disobedient deceivers that Paul is warning us about. Paul is clear about what happens to those who teach doctrines that are foreign to the Bible or that twist and distort what is found in the Bible. He says that those people receive the wrath of God.
Read your Bible and do not fall prey to those who preach empty words of deceit. Pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance as you read and as you hear scripture and teaching on scripture. When we submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit and to his guidance, we will not be lead astray!
