Don't Be That Guy

There are people who claim to speak for God and about God.

They speak well.  They know big words and are smooth talkers. They could have a nice title and an education.  At first this would sound impressive.  The clues are in their motives.  Their speaking is only to satisfy themselves.  There is something in them that feels empty.  They want the power of telling others what to do.  

The result causes division in those who want to follow Christ.  Their speaking causes people to sin.  

Don't think you can help them.  At first you might think you can steer them back on track.  But Paul in the book of Romans says to stay far away from them.  See Romans 16:17.

Don't be that guy.  Watch out for people like that.
