Counterfeit Goodness

Posted on by

The author of counterfeit goodness in this world is none other than Satan himself. He is the enemy of our souls who despises us as God’s creation and is full of envy toward our loving and merciful Father. Satan uses counterfeit goodness when there is a need or desire in our lives. He’s had centuries of working on his sales pitch and frankly he’s quite good at it. Unfortunately, if we should choose to buy into his false promises, we will end up cheated with junk to carry around. As you may recall Eve bought into Satan’s deceit regarding wisdom … Continue reading →

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

Lindsay Lohan stars in “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen,” the story of a girl named Mary who whom life is just too boring. She craves adventure and excitement, to the point where she’ll create the reality she wants if it doesn’t exist. She’s even changed her name, requesting to be known as Lola.

Freedom in Christ

Turning your life over to Christ means coming to the realization that you can’t save yourself; you need a Savior. It also means trusting God knows what’s best for your life and believing He’ll guide you in righteousness. One reason I think many are reluctant to abandon their old sinful lives is because the unknown can be scary. Putting our trust in God is an act of faith. I’m not sure why so many would rather hold on to their sinful nature. I understand sin feels good for a time, but I’ve just assumed more people are capable of looking … Continue reading →

What Satan Wants You to Believe: Part 2

Part 1 of this two part series I addressed the lies of Satan: Denying Jesus as God, that God’s power is no longer here with us, questioning the accuracy of the Bible, and the beliefs that people who do signs in wonders in Jesus name are all of God. So, here I’ll continue: Question what God Says. “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” By Satan causing Eve to question the Lord’s sincerity and warning about the tree, Eve justified partaking of the fruit as did her husband. Justify what is sinful. This … Continue reading →

What Satan Wants You to Believe: Part 1

The Following is part 1 of a two part series on the lies of Satan and how he would have us believe: Deny that Jesus is who the Bible claims Him to be. Jesus is the Son of God; God manifested in the flesh (see 1 Timothy 3:16). In believing Jesus is not who He claims in the Bible to be, it would make a liar out of Him; it would make the Bible not truth, and our faith in vain. Deny the Power of God still moves today. By not believing that God can guide us, comfort us, heal … Continue reading →

False Teachers

This world is full of false teachers that deceive the minds of many. Some say they come in the name of God for a divine purpose gaining followers, some boldly speak of things contrary to Christian beliefs, and some even claim to serve the same Christ yet twisting scripture to justify their motives. The book of 2 John gives us warning regarding those who reject Christ and those who stray from doctrine. Romans 16:17-18 starts out telling us to be aware of people who are divisive and go against doctrine and to avoid them because they are not serving Christ … Continue reading →
