“If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, ‘Let us go after other gods,’ which you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear him and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and hold fast to him.

Translation to today when evaluating the preaching at church which claims to be faithful to the Scriptures. Is it a church which preaches Jesus Christ and Him crucified or is it preaching worldly wisdom that may or may not be true? Paul, in 1 Corinthians 2:1-2 brings this out very clearly, and I need to apply the same principle when I preach and when I listen.
