I hope I didn't give the impression of being fearful, but we do need to be watchful. We have to keep our eyes on Jesus and our noses in the Word to stay clear of false teachings in these last days. Jesus did say one characteristic of the end would be that it would resemble "the days of Noah", where only eight people in the entire world were considered righteous by God. There will be much more that eight this time, but the situation is very much the same. Keeping the faith may not be easy, but it has its rewards ;-)
