JEREMIAH DENOUNCES FALSE PROPHETS LESSON TEXT Jeremiah 23:21-32. GOLDEN TEXT Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. I Thessa lonlans 5:21. - Tickling the vanity and pleasing the ears of ungodly people with Words of flattery and false comfort, giving them the assurance of peace and prosperity in the very pursuit of their sin, did not begin with the false prophets of the twentieth cen tury. Six hundred years before ' Christ, Jeremiah the prophet had to contend with such false teachers. His manner of dealing with them Is of great interest to us, for essen . tially the false prophets of that day used the same methods and . had the same false message that char acterize their descendants of today, 'the so-called modernistic religious liberals who' are busy everywhere attempting to undermine the faith of God's children in His Word. They 'are revealed as being destitute of i divine authority, without a real mes sage, and under the disfavor and subject to the judgment of God. They are I. Without Divine Commission (vv. 21-22). 'T have not sent these prophets" that should have been sufficient for the people of Judah. A man who Is not sent by God has no word from heaven, no help for needy humanity. He is worse than an admittedly secular teacher or philosopher, for he claims to speak with .divine au thority and yet has only the disap pointing impotence of a liar and a fraud. The reason Judah listened to them was because they so eloquently . hushed the condemning voice of -their own consciences, assuring them that all was well, when, as a matter of fact, "everything was wrong. Men listen to the same kind of teaching today for the very same reason: ....'.''' II. Without a Divine Message (vv. 23-29). These false prophets may delude men, but they have not fooled Godi He is hot a finite being, limited to this earth (v. 23). He looks on men from the far off viewpoint of heaven and judges by His own high and holy standards. Nor can they hide from Him (v. 24). God hears the word spoken in the academic shelter of a college classroom, secretly poisoning the young person's heart against the faith Of his father and mother. A day of judgment also- awaits those -who in their public utterances use the phraseology of orthodoxy, while in private they undermine and de stroy Christian faith. If a man is foolish enough to sup pose that the dreamings of his own mind and heart will help anyone, let him be honest enough to call them just that; namely, dreams (vy. 25-28). But God will assuredly not hold those men guiltless who try to pass off their own philosophies as bearing th approval of God; who would have people honor their assemblies as Christian churches, when they are at best only social or intellectual gatherings designed to magnify man rather than Christ. Note in verse 29 that the Word ot God is like the fire that consumes and purifies, and also like the ham mer, that breaks up the rocky heart of man. III. Without Divine Favor and Blessing (vv. 30-32). ' God is against every false proph et. Small wonder that there is the avour of death in their speaking and their works. There is no divine power in their message and no holy dynamic to enable people to respond to their admonitions. Prominent modernists are decrying in our day the fact that their cultured essays and polished philosophies are not reaching the hearts of men and are failing to transform lives. ' At the same time, humble preachers and teachers of God's Word, sometimes in hidden and remote places, are re joicing as they see the transforming grace of God come upon lives as a result of their simple proclamation of the gospel of grace. Keep on, brethren; God is with you. Observe what God calls the false prophets thieves (v. 30) and liars (v. 32). Hard words, but they come from One who is all-knowing, who judges rightly and in love. Like the Shadow I am gone like the shadow when It declineth; I am tossed up and down as the locust My knees are weak through fasting; my flesh fail eth of fatness; I became also a re proach unto them; when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. Psalm 109:23-25. It Doth Not Yet Appear You are not what you ought to be, and you are not what you can be. You may rise yet, and fight good fight yet, and be a good man once more, after the likeness of God who made you, and Christ who died for you! -Charles Kingsley.
