Remain in Christ's Teaching

2 John 9  "Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son." NLT

      Lord,  keep me VERY close to Your truth by being in Your Word every day.  I remember that where we used to live many "Baptist Christians" fell away to follow the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons because they never spent time in Your Scriptures and could not discern truth from lies.  Our enemy is SO subtle and oftimes uses scripture taken out of context to trip us up.  Lord, I want to be like the Bareans who didn't even take Paul's word for anything but searched the scriptures to see if what he was saying was true or false.
      I love You, Lord, and never want to stray from what You teach me daily.  Help me, Lord.  Alert me to lies that pose as truth so I may not follow them, but You!
