Matthew 16
Jesus here talks about false teachings and false prophets. Yet I can deceive myself, so in a way I am my own false prophet and false teacher based on how I misunderstand or misuse God's word. This is dangerous and it is even one of the ten commandments:
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are the one and only true God, the source of all truth and knowledge. As it says in James 1:17 every good and perfect gift comes from above. I need not go anywhere else for truth nor should I trust in myself for truth. Yet I often do and this is sin. Thank You that You love me anyway but Lord Jesus please forgive me. Help me find truth only in You. Help me be the man You intend for me.
"But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” v11
