Acts 8:9-11
9 But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great, 10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” 11 And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time.
How often people are mesmerized by those who draw attention to themselves as someone great and use cunning crafty tricks to make disciples of themselves. Some even claim or are said to be of God. But true followers of God are humble and draw attention to Christ their master, not themselves. They point to the God of great power, denying they are that power. We do well to not do as Simon says...
