do not follow them.

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Philemon 7-20 Psalm 146:7-10 Luke 17:20-25

Luke 17:23  And they will say to you, `Lo, there!' or `Lo, here!' Do not go, do not follow them.

In this day and age there are many people who will tell you that they are the true church and that God is leading them and God talks to them.  This has caused many divisions within the body of Christ.

Fact is, God doesn't follow people, people follow God.  If someone is telling you that you have to go to their church or listen to some specific preacher etc... think about it and proceed with caution. God can find you if you are willing to be found.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to be able to discern your true calling and not fall into the trap of wanting to be part of some group or movement.

Amen
