Re: Daughter wants to leave for FTTA
If this was my daughter I would tell her that I was very much encouraged by her burden to "be a doer of the word and not a hearer only" and that I would look forward to any fellowship she has while at the FTTA. I want to hear about all the things she is doing and how she is no longer just a hearer of the word like so many others.
I would also let her know she'll always know when she has truly found God's people because they have love for one another. That would be most apparent in their care for widows and orphans.
Finally, I would tell her the unmistakable tell tale sign of a false group is that they have been "spotted by the world". They have a profit motive that they try to hide but can't.
I would also remind her not to have faith in the Lord Jesus with respect of persons.
The reason we have false prophets is because many have faith without works, that is dead. The desire to have a real, living faith is what lures some to a false prophet.
