Today's Scripture

Notice who is being targeted in this verse - the unstable. False teachers look for those who do not have a solid foundation. Stability means you know what you believe and why you believe it; you've made decisions about your faith that are personal and well thought out and you can defend your reasons for believing those things. If you are not stable, you put yourself at risk for being misled by people who are targeting individuals like you. Know what you believe. Know why. And be prepared to defend yourself against those who would deceive you.

Study Questions:

1. Do you know what you believe about things like salvation, the deity of Jesus, the cleansing of sin, etc.

2. Could you defend your belief against someone who disagreed with you?

3. How can you better prepare yourself for defending your faith?
