2 Peter 2:1-4a But
false prophets also arose among the people. In the same way, false teachers
will come among you. They will introduce destructive opinions and deny the
master who bought them, bringing quick destruction on themselves. Many will follow them in their unrestrained
immorality, and because of these false teachers the way of truth will be
slandered. In their greed they will take
advantage of you with lies.
McDonald’s has now jumped on the “health” bandwagon by offering
an egg white McMuffin. As the sharp
newscasters pointed out, the sandwich still contains Canadian bacon and
cheese. I imagine they also butter the
English muffin. They have taken away the
most nutritious part of the sandwich and left us with less healthy fats. The
egg yolk has been much maligned in the public eye. While they have a high fat content, they also
have many health promoting vitamins and nutrients. The white has hardly any
nutritional value. Yolks certainly contain much less fat than a hamburger or an
order of French fries! How easily we are
deceived in life. This move is not to
promote better health; it’s to take financial advantage of the current
mentality in society to promote healthier eating. Everywhere, every day we are
bombarded with information about people, products, events, institutions,
politics and faith. Scripture tells us
to be wise, to be aware of false teachers and to see the Truth because it is
the truth that will set us free.
Loving God, we humbly ask that you will give us discernment
to recognize falsehood. Help us to never
spread false information out of ignorance especially when it comes to your
Word. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Have
a blessed day!Paige
