Accept No Substitutes!
 
 

Imitations. Knock-offs. Copies. Replicas. They are all around us! Instead of sugar, you reach for a pink, blue or yellow packet! Instead of diamonds, you can get cubic zirconia! When cooking, instead of the expensive vanilla extract, you get the bottle artificial vanilla flavoring.

These days, especially with the easy shopping of the internet, you can easily find copies and substitutes for anything you can think of. Often these copies are cheaper imitations of the real thing. And, unfortunately, people have often been cheated when they thought they were purchasing “the real thing�?and later find out they have nothing but a worthless copy.

This concept isn’t limited to material goods! For far too many people, their faith walk has been deceptively overtaken as they are only all too willing to accept cheap knock-offs for a real, genuine relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. There is an all-too-common thinking in modern systems of belief that has exchanged the truth of God for the lies off this day.

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 that his message and his preaching �?..were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.�?/FONT>

We cannot afford to allow our faith to be built upon the wisdom of men, but rather upon the power of God! Be sure to join us this Sunday here at WFA as we examine many of the fallacies of today’s popular religion, and learn to “Accept No Substitutes�?for genuine Biblical Christianity!
