SHOULD WE

By the late Dr. H. A. IRONSIDE, pas­ tor of Moody Church for many years, distinguished Bible teacher and author.

O u r Lord p rophesied , “ Many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Within our own day, how many false prophets have ris­ en; and oh, how many are deceived! Paul predicted, “ I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things to draw away disci­ ples after them. Therefore watch.” My own observation is that these “ grievous wolves,” alone and in packs, are not sparing even the most favored flocks. Undershep- herds, in these “ perilous times,” will do well to note the Apostle's warning, “ Take heed therefore unto yourselves and to all the flock over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers.” It is as important in these days as in Paul’s— in fact, it is increasingly important— to ex- pose the many types of false teach­ ing, that on every hand, abound more and more. We are called upon to contend earnestly for the Faith once for all delivered to the saints,” while we hold the truth in love. The Faith means the whole body of revealed truth, and to contend for ALL of God’s truth, necessitates some neg­ ative teaching. The choice is not left with us. This does not imply harsh treat­ ment of those entrapped by error — quite the opposite. If it be ob­ jected that exposure of error neces­ sitates unkind reflection upon oth­ ers who do not see as we do, our answer is, it has always been the duty of every loyal servant of Christ to warn against any teaching that would make Him less precious, or cast reflection' upon His finished redemptive work and the all-suffi­ ciency of His present service as our great High Priest and Advocate.
