Believer BEWARE The FLATTERER: Enemy of Every True

Flattery may sound like praise, encouragement, or admiration, but the Bible repeatedly warns that flattering words can hide deception, manipulation, and destructive intentions. The flatterer does not speak primarily to strengthen you in truth but to gain influence over your heart. Scripture declares, "A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet" (Proverbs 29:5). In Believer Beware the Flatterer, Dr. Michael H. Yeager exposes the spiritual danger of those who use smooth words, excessive praise, and fair speeches to deceive the unsuspecting. Through powerful biblical examples-including Absalom and others who captured hearts through flattering words-this book reveals how pride can make even sincere believers vulnerable to deception. This is a call to spiritual discernment, humility, and an uncompromising love for truth. Every believer must learn to recognize the difference between genuine encouragement and manipulative flattery, refusing the praise of men that would draw the heart away from God. Beware the flatterer-the words may be sweet, but hidden beneath them may be a net for your soul.
