Strange ideas

Call in the astrologers and stargazers. They’re good at this. Surely they can work up something!

Fat chance. You’d be grasping at straws that are already in the fire,
A fire that is even now raging.
~ Isaiah 47:13-14 (MSG)

Don’t be misled by the many strange teachings out there. It’s a good thing for the heart to be strengthened by grace ... ~ Hebrews 13:9 (CEB)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
There is no end to the harebrained experts who would love to distract us from the grace we receive through Christ Jesus.

PRAYER
Kind God, thank you for sending Christ into the world to set things right. I'm grateful to be a part of his plan. I confess, though that I'm easily distracted by some of the looney experts who are looking for their own following. Help me to discern truth from error and to keep my gaze fixed on Christ Jesus. I'm going to look to him as my guide and guru. Amen.
