Harbor Church West O‘ahu

When we get on the path of forcing God's word to change to us, we are on the path toward heresy, toward false teaching, towards something that tears down, divides, and destroys. Now so church, the fact that Peter and Paul warn us that this could happen in any church should motivate us to do what acts 20 says, be on alert. The way we stay on alert is to go back to what we saw last week in chapter one. We need truth, which means we need Jesus. We need to be reminded of Jesus, the truth. And the way that that happens is through God's word. We, the church, are a people who are dedicated and devoted to God's word. We submit to it as the ultimate rule of faith and practice. We are people of the book. So this should motivate us. Our motivation should be to change ourselves to to come under the authority of God's word. We should be motivated to stand on biblical truth.
