Chris.
There are clever and cunning people who try to
hide their evil plans to disrupt the smooth and effective functioning of
Churches. Some of these people are actually holding some office in the Church
but they have the wrong motives. There are other people who belong to cults and
they sometimes try to infiltrate the Church and then manifest their evil plans.
In this part the Church needs to keep alert and filled with the Holy Spirit and
Truth of God’s Word.
