Depart From Me; I Never Knew You - Ep. 927 - June 17, 2026

"Depart from Me, I Never Knew You" is one of the most serious warnings in Matthew 7, and this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show takes it head-on. Jeff and Rowland walk through Matthew 7:15-23, starting with false prophets, bad fruit, and the danger of trusting outward works instead of real relationship with Christ. They also talk about the difference between a claim and a walk, the role of discernment in the church, and why fruit matters more than showy religion. This conversation stays close to the text and asks hard questions. Can someone look right on the outside and still be lost? Can good works, prophecy, or religious activity hide a false heart? What does the passage really say about the people who call Jesus "Lord" but never knew Him? The discussion also touches on faith, presumption, spiritual pride, and the danger of measuring people by appearances. If you want a biblical, plain-spoken look at Matthew 7 and the warning behind these verses, this episode gives you plenty to think about. Watch the full episode and read the passage for yourself in the King James Bible.
