Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing

There are many church leaders who claim to be shepherds, but are really “false prophets.” They’re “ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing.” Jesus warned us to beware of these false teachers, and to remain vigilant, contending for the faith against error.

So, what should we do when we recognize false teachers by their fruit? I believe it’s important to publicly rebuke these people and judge them by God’s Word. This warns the church of their dangerous teaching. And it also gives the false teachers a chance to repent of their sin.

We should have no respect for those who purposefully lead the sheep astray. And we need to warn the church about these wolves, just as Jesus did.
