‘Spiritual thieves masquerading as Christians are happy to rob you of your faith, steal your liberty in Christ, and lie about it in the process’
By Pastor Jack Hibbs, Real Clear Wire
The signs are everywhere. Posted outside of residences and businesses alike are announcements that a security service protects the premises. One of the unfortunate realities of our world is rising lawlessness, which makes people desperate for safety from the outside world. Yet the one place where they should be safe — God’s house — is not always the case.
Jesus said, “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:9-10).
Spiritual thieves masquerading as Christians are happy to rob you of your faith, steal your liberty in Christ, and lie about it in the process. Unfortunately, most of us will be taken advantage of at least once in our lifetime, but no deception is more dangerous or hurtful than when it’s directed at spiritual things and empowered by Satan.
