We all know the game spot the difference. Sometimes those differences can be so subtle, they can appear almost identical.
But look long enough, and you’ll start to see the difference. The longer you look at the two images, the more they can look the same. But if we compare to just one of them, those differences start to stand out!
It’s like with spotting counterfeit money – we check what the genuine stuff looks like, and the fake stuff starts to stand out.
And it’s like this in life, especially in churches, where spotting the ‘nearly right’ can give you a headache!
Thankfully, God has given us the Holy Spirit, and His Word – the Bible – as the source that never changes.
If we want to be able to know when what hearing someone teach of preach is really right, we need to listen to the Holy Spirit inside us, and know our scripture.
And if, like me, you struggle like me to memorise scripture, be at peace and know that if the Holy Spirit can warn a 5 year old – who had only been a Christian for a little over a year, and who could barely read – to spot false teaching, the Holy Spirit will just as easily help you and me spot it too, if we choose to listen to His voice.
