Have you ever wondered what it would have been like in the days of some of the Old Testament people when there were numerous false prophets, and sometimes but one or two true prophets of God? I believe we have not further to look that our present times. Maine is holding a vote in a few days on the issue of homosexual marriage. A number of clergy have spoken, often emphasizing love, in favor of redefining marriage to include homosexual relationships. They are thus saying, as they frequently quote the Bible, that "thus says the Lord ..."

Yet they speak a message that is not from God for they do not speak of loving God first and then loving our neighbor, in the manner God has spoken of. They speak words that sound good: "Do this thing that is a sin, and feel good about doing it!"

What do these people look like, and sound like? Often times they look and speak respectfully? They have people listening to them, and wondering at their words. They do not look evil? Nor, dangerous.

Beware, test all thing by God's Word. Test the spirits of the prophets to see if what a man says is true.
