🤥 Not Every Preacher Tells the Truth – How to Spot a False Gospel

 Jesus warned us: false teachers would rise up — and many would follow them.

They wouldn’t come with horns or red flags.

They’d come with smiles, charisma, and Bible verses out of context.


And they’d preach something almost true.





🚨 What Does a False Gospel Look Like?



Here are some signs you’re not hearing the true Gospel of Jesus Christ:




1. Jesus Is Treated Like a Means to an End

If the message is mostly about money, success, healing, or getting a “breakthrough” — and Jesus is just the tool to get it — that’s not the Gospel.

That’s idolatry dressed up in Christian language.


“Their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame.” – Philippians 3:19




2. No Talk of Sin, Hell, or Repentance

If you leave church every week feeling good about yourself but never convicted of your sin — run.

Jesus didn’t come to affirm us. He came to transform us.


“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” – Matthew 4:17




3. It’s All About You

The true Gospel is about Jesus. False gospels turn the focus inward — your destiny, your dreams, your promotion.

Jesus didn’t die to make you popular. He died to make you holy.


“He must increase, but I must decrease.” – John 3:30




4. No Call to Take Up Your Cross

Any gospel that tells you salvation is easy and painless is lying.

Following Jesus means dying to yourself daily.


“Whoever does not carry their cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.” – Luke 14:27





📖 How to Protect Yourself



  • Know the Word – False teachers thrive when people don’t read the Bible.
  • Test the Spirits – Not every supernatural experience is from God (1 John 4:1).
  • Follow Jesus, Not a Personality – A pastor, prophet, or influencer is not your Savior.
  • Stay Rooted in Truth – Feelings can lie. God’s Word never does.






Final Warning



“Even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse.” – Galatians 1:8


This matters. Eternity is on the line.

Don’t chase hype. Chase holiness.

Don’t follow crowds. Follow Christ.

🤕 Why Forgiveness Is Important — Spiritually, Emotionally, and Practically

  Forgiveness isn’t easy—but it’s essential. Not just for the person who hurt you, but for your own freedom, healing, and relationship with God. 1. Because God Commands It Jesus didn’t leave forgiveness as a suggestion. He made it clear: “If you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” —Matthew 6:15 When we forgive, we are obeying God and reflecting His mercy. As believers, we forgive because we’ve been forgiven. “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” —Ephesians 4:32 2. Because Unforgiveness Holds You Prisoner Holding onto bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die. It eats at your peace. It feeds resentment. It blocks joy. Forgiveness doesn’t mean what they did was okay—it means you’re choosing not to let it control you anymore. 3. Because It Sets You Free Forgiveness doesn’t change the past, but it transforms your present. It...

♥️ What Real Love Looks Like

  Love is a word we hear every day—sung in songs, spoken in vows, printed on cards—but rarely do we stop to ask: What is real love? The World’s Version vs. God’s Version The world defines love as a feeling—fleeting, emotional, often self-centered. But the Bible flips that on its head. Love, according to God, is not just about how we feel. It’s about how we choose to act. It’s selfless. It’s sacrificial. It’s holy. “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.” —1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (ESV) That kind of love doesn’t come naturally. It comes supernaturally. The kind of love that forgives the unforgivable, serves without expecting anything back, and lays down its life for others—that’s the love God poured out on the cross. Jesus: The Perfect Picture of Love The greatest example of love the world has ever known is Jesus Christ. He didn’t wait for us to be perfect before loving us. “But God shows his love for us in that while we wer...
