LOOK:

False teachers appear to have successful ministries, but in the end, they are bound to fail. The important thing is that we have the assurance of a true experience with the Lord, and that we have nothing to do with these counterfeit ministries, no matter how popular they may be.

LOOK:

Beware of false teachers who are experts in greed. Their technique of getting what they want is, through long practice, highly developed. They know exactly how to motivate people to give. While the true servant of God trusts the Father to meet his needs and seeks to help people grow through their giving, the apostate trusts his “fund-raising skills” and leaves people in worse shape than he found them. He knows how to exploit the unstable and the innocent.

LOOK:

We will do well to heed Peter’s warning against false teachers. He’s given us a heads up on the attributes to look for to help us ferret them out. As Christians, we can wage spiritual warfare more effectively if we know our spiritual enemies, the techniques they use, and the end result of their deception.

LOOK:

God’s people, as weak as we are, will be delivered from judgment by the grace and mercy of God. God could not judge Sodom until Lot and his family was out of the city. Likewise, God will not send wrath on this world until He takes His own people out and home to heaven. “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep [live or die], we should live together with Him” (1 Thes. 5:9–10).

LOOK:

I hope this lesson inspires us to reach the lost. They face eternal separation from God that will be tormenting. The true minister of Jesus Christ has nothing to hide: his life and ministry are an open book. He preaches the truth in love and does not twist the Scriptures to support his own selfish ideas. He does not flatter the rich or minister only to make money. We need to be alert and refuse to support ministries that exploit people and deny the Savior. Religion can be a tremendous tool for exploiting weak people, and these false teachers use religion just to get what they can. They are not ministers; they are merchandisers.
