Micah 3:8, 11
8 But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, and of justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin. 11 Her heads judge for a bribe, her priests teach for pay, and her prophets divine for money. Yet they lean on the Lord, and say, “Is not the Lord among us? No harm can come upon us.”

Israel had many false self seeking and self appointed prophets as they wandered further from God. But the few God called directed their sight to their sin, and showed they could not rely on being called God's people to avoid judgement and just punishment as a consequence. So what will God do today if we allow false teaching in the church to go unchallenged? In love sin must be pointed to in order to allow the chance to turn from it.
