Sheep in Wolves’ Clothing
Common sense teaches us: if it looks like a skunk, move. If it smells like spoiled milk, don’t drink it. If it was mailed by your archnemesis and makes a ticking sound, call a bomb squad.
Modern Christianity – in an attempt to become more accepted – has adopted the fashions & flavors of a rotten, decaying culture. The idea is: we’ll look like the world, sound like the world and smell like the world but guess what? We’ll be full of yummy honest-to-goodness Christian purity on the inside! What you see on the outside is only packaging and doesn’t matter. God looks on the heart anyway.
Paul disagrees:
Abstain from all appearance of evil. 1Th 5:22
If it looks like the world, don’t hang around. The very appearance of evil should turn you off. No sheep in its right mind wears wolf clothing to be accepted by the pack.

Great thoughts! Thanks!!
Amen! Thanks for sharing TRUTH. I wish more could and would see this and return to the Path to follow ONE SHEPHERD, THE SHEPHERD, JESUS CHRIST alone. So many , as you say, are “tasting the world” for a season and think as long as they are “saved” they are safe.
They think “what could happen, other than a little rebuke?”! Well, we need to pray for them , for they will see it is more than a “little rebuke” that happens. There will be many scars and lots of shame when they see what they have done to others as well. Most of all the shame that will come when they see what they have done to their LORD , the Saviour!
