Beware False Teaching

As Jesus and the disciples cross the Sea of Galilee one more time, He warns them about the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Doctrine is not mere philosophical speculation or mental assent. It is, instead, the germ from which an entire culture grows - whether beneficial or hazardous. The call of Christianity is not to adopt the multi-religionism of the day. Rather, we are to purify our thinking, lest we include in our system the one microbial idea which will eventually poison the whole.
