Sermon notes
The Devil’s strategy
- Deceptive ideas – the Devil
- Play to disordered desires – the flesh
- Normalized in a sinful society – the world
John 8:31-47
The Devil’s primary means to spread ruin in our souls and society is LIES!
How Satan brought about Eve’s fall
- Isolation
- Lies
It is by spirit and truth that we’re transformed into the image of Jesus, but the reciprocal is also true. It’s by isolation and lies that we’re deformed into the image of the devil.
The goal of temptation is do two things:
- To seize autonomy from God
- To redefine good and evil based on the voice in our heads and the inclination of our hearts rather than trust in the loving word of God
While the church is not an ethnic minority – we are at what sociologists call a cognitive minority.
The devil is not just a liar; he’s a really good liar.
- The most effective lies are the ones that are mostly true.
- The next most effective lies are those that are true but not the whole truth.
The life we have is a reflection of the thoughts we think. What we think determines who we become.
