On Religion: Know them by their fruit (part II)
“By their fruit you will recognize them.” Matthew 7:16

For the Victorville Daily Press
In last week’s column, we looked at how to recognize a false teacher. In Matthew 7:16 and again in v. 20, Jesus tells us that we can recognize false teachers “by their fruit” by observing the lives they live. But sometimes that’s easier said than done.
Many churches are too big for us to get to know our pastor on a personal basis. And we can’t see what our church elders are doing behind closed doors. What we see on Sunday mornings looks good, but how can we know for sure whether or not our church leaders are false teachers peddling false teaching?
