Susan Lafferty“Did God really say…?” The serpent’s ploy through the ages.
Deceiver. Casting doubt on God’s Word.
Casting doubt on God.
Casting doubt.
Deceiver. Twisting His command. And intent.
Then misleading the listener. About the outcome of disobedience.
In-your-face. Deliberate. Disobedience.
A story old as time. And ongoing in this day and age.
Jeroboam of Nebat’s name is repeated in Scripture. Often. Echoing through the history of the kings.
Not remembered for noble acts or extraordinary wisdom.
But for his evil ways.
Emptiness grows. In the stained-glass halls of deluded prophets and shepherds.
Those who speak visions from their own minds. Of their own making.
Instead of delivering the true and unchanging Word of God.
Reading Jeremiah, I see this.
And watch how truth interrupts compromise.
