In the world of Christianity today, there are false teachers who spread lies about God and His Word. They make false and flowery statements in an effort to add members to their church. They often play on people's emotions...or they promise them happy, healthy and prosperous lives...if they accept Jesus as their Savior. But that's not exactly SCRIPTURAL. Understand that there ARE wonderful promises for the children of God. However, we are ALSO told that we will experience persecution. We're told that even as believers, we'll experience times of trial and hardship. No one is exempt from these things. It's all a part of living in a fallen world.
