In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave opens a sobering and timely warning from Romans 16:17 , where Paul cautions believers to “watch out for those who cause divisions and offenses.” With pastoral clarity and prophetic urgency, Dave exposes how the enemy’s most effective weapon against the church isn’t persecution—but deception from within.

Through the lens of Scripture, he reveals how division often begins subtly—with a conversation, an offense, or a question that sows doubt. Just as the serpent enticed Eve with dialogue, the enemy still uses words to weaken conviction and disrupt unity. Dave explains how spiritual deception often wears a mask of discernment, and how easily the body of Christ can be ensnared when it lends its ear to the wrong voice.

This episode is a call to vigilance and discernment. Unity is not maintained by emotion, but by conviction. The strength of a church, a family, or a team depends on its ability to guard against the quiet seeds of offense that grow into full-grown division. Dave urges believers to protect the purity of their agreement, honor their leaders, and refuse to entertain voices that tear down what God has built.

If you’ve felt the sting of offense, confusion, or disconnection, this message will realign your heart to truth and restore your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit’s voice. The snare of division is silent—but discernment keeps you free. As you listen, may the Lord expose every hidden trap, heal every wound of offense, and strengthen your commitment to unity in His body.
