Many wolves (Matthew 7:15)
have made their home in the world of
churchianity. They prey upon the unsuspecting,
the naive and the undiscerning. They devour
their prey on the pretense that they are
"ministers" of Jesus Christ (Matthew 24:5). They
don't prance around as if they are wolves, but
on the other hand, they come in sheep's
clothing. Wolves come in many different
disguises using flattering titles to make their
prey think they are legitimate. Some wolves are
pastors, some are senior pastors, some are
pastors of megachurches, some are youth pastors,
some are pastors of cults, some are pastors of
whatever group they supposedly have power over;
while others are so-called prophets (Matthew
7:15), and some call themselves "apostles" (2
Corinthians 11:13), while others are book
authors, some are musicians and singers, and
others are in different categories. Some wolves
are infiltrators for political cause or other
reasons. Some wolves are money hungry, power
hungry, control hungry and love the praise of
men. Some wolves are even classified as
"scholars" and "translate" the Bible into their
