God has become a stranger in our generation when even His people neglect Him and take Him lightly. God gives a frightening reply to Jeremiah. God denounces the behaviour of the church and tells the prophet not to pray for the people's good. In verse 13 Jeremiah argues that the prophets are claiming there will be peace and no famine. They are false prophets who are presenting the people with lies.
False prophets arise in every age.
In Britain there are those who preach from the Bible but do not believe the fundamental truths about God and the Lord Jesus Christ - these are false prophets whom God has not sent. The church can become presumptuous, cheeky and careless with God. His own people are not exempt in this area. Christian people should never be careless about the teachings of Scripture. They should preach and believe the truth - the whole truth, nothing omitted and nothing added.
