From Children To A Mature Man (15 pages) (2021)

The impetus for writing this brief essay comes from observing the increasing deception in the midst of professing Christianity. As I reflected on this, the Holy Spirit once again drew my attention to a particular passage which Paul wrote to the Ephesians. I am aware that what Paul wrote is not the ONLY explanation for the increasing deception in the Church. But what he presents in Ephesians 4 is one clear and simple explanation for deception in the Church. I think we would need to question our spiritual sincerity and intellectual honesty if we were to ignore this particular explanation while searching for alternative explanations.
