A Different Authority

What if the most dangerous lie isn’t the opposite of the truth, but something that sounds almost true?

In this message from Cults & Counterfeits, Brad teaches on how every counterfeit gospel begins by attacking the same place: the authority of God’s Word.

From the garden in Genesis 3 to today, the enemy’s strategy has not changed. He twists Scripture, subtracts from Scripture, and adds to Scripture. And if we are not grounded in the Bible, we can easily begin shaping God’s Word around culture, feelings, comfort, or personal desire.

This message is a call to trust the Bible, learn the Bible, and share the Bible.

Because a partial truth can destroy your life, but the whole truth can transform your life.
