A lie led to the beginning of human sin. Back in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve accepted Satan\u2019s lie: \u201cYou will not certainly die. . . . You will be like God, knowing good and evil\u201d (Genesis 3:4-5).<\/p>\n
Ever since then, the voice of the liar, the father of lies, has carried on. Satan apparently can\u2019t speak the truth; lying is his native language. Today Satan keeps telling us versions of the same lies he spoke in Eden: \u201cGod doesn\u2019t really want the best for you.\u201d \u201cYou will never have any fun if you follow the moral standard set by God.\u201d \u201cYou really won\u2019t suffer any consequences for doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n
What lies is Satan telling you lately? \u201cIt really doesn\u2019t matter if you watch some porn.\u201d \u201cPaying all your taxes would be crazy, given the way the government spends money.\u201d \u201cYou deserve a new car, a new sex partner, a higher salary.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pay attention to what you are thinking. Listening to the father of lies can be the first step into sinfulness.<\/p>\n
These lies include conspiracy theories that flood social media. Satan is in charge of those too. He is quite capable of using politicians and media personalities to promote his lies. The fact that others may agree with Satan is no excuse.<\/p>\n
Our thought world is a war zone. Listen to the one who has already won the war. Reject the one who can never be trusted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
