Satan told Eve God was lying. The forbidden fruit would make her wise, not make her die (Genesis 3:1-5).
And Satan tells us the same lies. He tells us things God forbids are actually the good things in life. They won’t really harm us.
And we believe him:
- Professing Christian singles are just as likely to have sex as non-Christian singles.
- Professing Christians are just as likely to divorce as non-Christians.
- Many Christians have the same life goals as their non-Christian neighbors.
“Do not love the world or anything in the world…The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” 1 John 2:15-17
Help us, Lord, to quit listening to Satan’s lies!

ReplyDeleteThis is so true. I have the hardest time with my kids. They think that being believers means the can't have fun anymore. It keeps them from fully surrendering.

ReplyDeleteOuch!!! so true.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me to continue listening to My Father. I believe Matthew 6:33 sets the tone for what should be priority; God first. Lists of goals and wishes are not a bad thing. I think we have to be careful of listing divorce as sin or not okay when The Word of God says it will happen. There are many justifiable reasons for a woman to have to permanantly leave her husband. God bless.
ReplyDeleteYes I have I confess. But Lord thank you for sending your only begotten Son to save us. I ask Forgiveness Lord for all my sins and for hurting any one else with my thoughtless actions. God forgive me for believing the lies of the devil. Lord help me from this moment forward to walk with you in your gift of Grace. Lord Jesus help me to be more like you and help me to not get swept away in the lists of my flesh. In Jesus Christ’s Mighty Name Amen Amen
