Matthew 23:1-39 | Bad Leadership

Rev. Tom Morrison — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 02:44:17 +0000

The people of God, during the Old Testament era and today, are always under the threat of bad leadership. The most dangerous form of leadership comes from those who are deceived – they are sincere but wrong. In fact, the New Testament argues that the great tribulation in the latter days (the time period from Christ’s ascension until His second return) is marked by deception and apostacy. But thank God that Jesus Christ ultimately protects His elect from these false prophets. And there are plenty of false prophets today in churches.
