Matthew 7:15-20 MSG (The Message)

“Be wary of false preachers who smile a lot, dripping with practiced sincerity. Chances are they are out to rip you off some way or other. Don’t be impressed with charisma; look for character.

These diseased trees with their bad apples are going to be chopped down and burned.
