I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Jeremiah 23-25.

Jeremiah’s prophecy against the prophets and other religious leaders of Judah is one which we should think about closely.  Are we following religious leaders who teach God’s words, or their own?  Jeremiah condemns the religious leaders as ungodly, wicked people.  All too many of the religious leaders today fit into the mold of those Jeremiah condemns: they commit adultery and love dishonesty.  All too many of them are willing to tell those who hate God’s words that God loves them and will not judge their actions.  The first part is true, but the second part is a lie.  Jeremiah warns us to be careful about listening to the prophets and other religious leaders who claim to speak for Him, but who have never listened to His voice.  Read the Bible for yourself and you will soon know who those are.  But discipline yourself to read the entire Bible, not just the parts that say the things you like to hear.  As I write this I want to say, don’t just read my commentary on what I have read, read it for yourself.  Look for the things I have missed, or gotten wrong.
