Savage Wolves
-
Acts 20:29-31 says, “For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. [30] “Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.
Paul in these verses is speaking to the elders (pastors) of the church. He warns them that there will come a time when men will arise from
Among them and by speaking perverse things will lead people astray. Church leaders are not perfect. Church leaders at times have become the ones who are leading people astray instead of to the truth. This verse just shows once again the necessity of each one of us knowing the word of God well enough that we can recognize false teaching when we hear it and avoid those false teachers. You notice...these elders that lead people astray will lead to the destruction of the flock.
