Believing the Lie

This lesson by Preacher Doug addresses Gods powerful ability to send forth a delusion into the minds of souls who do not believe the truth to be saved.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-13,

^"The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,"

Believing the Lie

It’s important what 1) Church we attend, 2) The things we practice, 3) The things we believe in. If you don’t think that’s the case just re-study 1 Kings 13 and 2 Thess. 2.

God says, “Promise me anything but give me your life.”

“He doesn't want you where you want to be. He wants you where you are.”

We often think being a Christian means having your name on a roll someplace. That has nothing to do with it at all. Membership and attendance are important things. But God says, “Are You Mine?” Do you do what I tell you to do? Do you live your life according to My Word?”

God’s Word is not just being a member of a church and going to service. God talks about being a certain kind of people. He talks about living a certain kind of lifestyle with certain kinds of attitudes and certain kinds of priorities. If anybody tells you it’s easier than that, they are just lying to you. They are selling you a bill of goods!

The biggest Lie:

“I have found certain teachings in the bible that just don’t apply to me.”
