Recognizing & Dealing With Apostasy

We live in a time of widespread and growing apostasy in churches, seminaries, and Bible colleges - and in Christian homes. Dealing with apostasy is not only the responsibility of pastors and church leaders - it is the responsibility of every believer.

How will you respond when people twist Scripture to try to prevent you from doing what God's Word commands you to do?
Some people in the church will try to prevent you from doing your duty when apostasy appears. Don't let them.
Christ commended the church at Ephesus for its stand against apostasy, but warned them about the danger of doing the right thing for the wrong reason.
The only Biblical motivation for confronting apostasy is love for Christ and His church, and the only standard for judging apostasy is the truth of God's Word.
To properly confront it, you must understand what apostasy is, and is not, according to Scripture.
According to Scripture, what is the loving response to apostasy? To answer that question, five things must be absolutely clear in your mind as a believer.
Scripture tells us that to keep silent in the presence of error within the church is, in fact, a most un-loving act.
A church, so this objection goes, does not become a heretical body unless and until it officially endorses heresy.
Today too few Christians really understand why the Reformation took place and what is at stake if it is reversed.
Those who lead churches into apostasy frequently play fast and loose with church history.
