Exposing Deception: When Wolves Speak Like Shepherds

Hey friends, today I want to invite you into something both alarming and eye-opening. We’re going to listen to the very words of some of the most well-known and influential people who claim to be Christian teachers. And yet, when you hear what they actually say, it becomes crystal clear—they’re not teaching the Gospel. They’re promoting themselves.

Now, who am I to say that? I get it. But I’m not speaking based on personal bias. I’m reading their words—publicly documented, broadcasted statements. These are the messages they’ve put into the world. So no one can say we’re twisting anything.

Scripture gives us a clear warning. Jesus Himself said, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” Paul warned of them too. He said they’d appear among us—speaking smooth words, drawing crowds, making merchandise of people’s souls.

And that’s exactly what we’re witnessing. These so-called ministers say things like, “God is only good,” while refusing to acknowledge His holiness or judgment. They preach a gospel without repentance, a cross without sacrifice, a faith without obedience. They turn Jesus into a brand and the church into a stage.

I’m not here to attack people. I’m here to defend the Gospel. The true Gospel calls you to die to self, not build your empire. The real Jesus said, “Take up your cross and follow Me.” That doesn’t sell well on television, but it saves souls.

So, why are we doing this? Because the church today is hungry—but many are being fed poison. And it breaks my heart. When a man or woman stands on a platform and dares to speak in the name of God, that’s a holy calling. To twist Scripture for personal gain is a terrifying thing.

Listen, I love the church. I love you. And that’s why we need to be alert. The Bible tells us to test everything. Hold fast to what is true. If the message doesn’t align with the Word of God, we have a responsibility to reject it—even if it’s popular, even if it’s trending, even if it’s entertaining.

This isn’t about being critical—it’s about being biblical. We must return to sound doctrine. We must listen to the Holy Spirit. And we must guard our hearts from voices that lead us away from the narrow road.

So let’s be a people who love truth more than comfort. Who choose Scripture over spectacle. Who follow Jesus even when it’s not easy.

Because in the end, it’s not about charisma—it’s about Christ.
