Hey everyone I’m Pastor Gary Hoban and welcome to Refinery Life Australia.
One of the greatest tragedies of life is the inability or the neglect of a father to pass on to his children the benefits of his experience.
Fathers must instruct, warn, and encourage their children.
For the next while Wednesday evenings messages will be from John’s first epistle and are titled “The Counsel of a Spiritual Father to His Children.”
Today we are discussing Counterfeit Christianity: What Is It?
Text
1 John 2:16 (AMP)
16 For all that is in the world—the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one’s resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father, but are from the world.
One of the most distasteful and unpleasant words in the human vocabulary has to be the word counterfeit.
We usually think of things being counterfeit as something being purposely designed to deceive.
Even more devious than those selling counterfeits in the market place, are those guilty of counterfeiting in the spiritual realm.
The tragedy connected with this kind of counterfeiting is that many times those involved are victims rather than agents!
Satan is the master counterfeiter of all time.
