God tells the prophet Jeremiah that the priests and prophets of his day are practising deceit.
What are they doing?
They are letting the people be deceived into thinking that sin is not serious - it may not be serious to them BUT it is certainly serious to God.
"They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. "Peace, peace" they say, when there is no peace." (Jeremiah 8:11)
Imagine a very bad accident. The ambulance comes and the paramedics dress a very serious wound with some band aid strips! That is what the priests and prophets are doing in Jeremiah's day.
Sin is serious and modern preachers need to be pointing men, women and children to repentance - turning lives back in God's direction.
Have a great day,
Peter Clark.
