Are they playing your song?

It is very important have a good teacher so that you can mature in your faith so that you don’t fall for false teaching. False teachers are very good at tricking people in to believing things that are not true. The funny thing is that they do it by using things that sound like the truth and people will be believe anything they want to hear. Sometimes a person is their own false teacher and they make themselves believe things they want to be true that aren’t true. When I think of people falling for false teaching I think of the Pied Piper. They will follow whoever is playing the song they want to hear. So be careful who you follow. To know the truth you have to know the truth the truth being Jesus and the way to know Him is to trust in Him, pray to Him, and read the Bible.   

Ephesians 4:11-16
 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. ¹² Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. ¹³ This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.¹⁴ Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. ¹⁵ Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. ¹⁶ He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.
