Warning against false teachers

2 Peter was written to warn against false teachers, and in today's reading (2:17-22) we see how dangerous this false teaching can be.  They ensnare new Christians and end up making them worse off than they were before believing in Christ!  We can learn a lesson from this: make sure we know what Jesus taught so that we can properly defend our faith.  Reading the bible is one such way.  Another is listening to the wisdom of trusted friends and advisors.  Apologetics is a great way to stay in tune with what's true about God and Christian doctrine.  There are a lot of books on this subject, so go to your local library and check them out!
