23.What are the sources of the shifting winds of doctrine?

Men who through trickery and craftiness have become skilled in fabricating lies and propounding error.

It always is dangerous to attempt to use the things of Christ as a means of our own advancement and exaltation. The Christian teacher does his best work when he is buffeted by tribulations and is given wisdom and strength by the Holy Spirit. The only true Christian ministry is that which proceeds from the cross.
