IN THIS EPISODE: In the book of Acts Paul speaks to the early church—and to us—about cults. Cults will not only come, they are already here – and have been all along in some way, shape, or form. They existed then, they exit now, they will exist in the future until the Lord does away with evil once and for all… but that’s a topic for another day. The really dangerous part about cults is how attractive they can be to even the most intelligent among us, even those of us who profess Christ as our savior can be lured in if we’re not careful. Cults, in all of their forms, draw us away from the truth. So it’s important to recognize one when you see it.
