A Portrait of the Traits of Tricky,Terrible,Troublemaking Teachers (Part 2) by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

The scene is a four-engine airliner. The pilot's voice comes across the intercom: "Those of you on the left side of the plane have probably noticed that one of our engines has failed. Do not be alarmed. We can still fly on three engines, but we will probably arrive about 15 minutes late." A few minutes later the pilot's calm voice was heard again: "Those of you on the right side of the plane are probably aware that a second engine has failed. Do not be alarmed. We can make it on two engines, though we will probably be at least 30 minutes late now." A few minutes later the pilot spoke to the passengers: "It has just come to my attention that a third engine has failed. Please do not be alarmed. We can make it to the airport on one engine. However, we will arrive approximately 45 minutes late." One passenger turned to another and said, "Boy, I hope that fourth engine doesn't fail, or we could be up here all night!" Like this passenger, the false foolish teacher just doesn't get it. He does not comprehend danger or stupidity when it is staring at him in the face. That goes for all people who behave like a fool. The false teacher knows nothing. Unfortunately, there are many Christians today who are ignorant about the Lord they claim to believe. Their relationship with Jesus has been neglected, leaving them ignorant about the Lord and His Word. They just don’t get what life is all about. It is about Jesus! This message provides insights about guarding yourself against false teachers in the church, in schools, colleges, in the news media, or in government. It was preached on Sunday night, July 30, 2023, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
