Sermon Thought

John 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 

   Satan is a deceiver.  Satan will change the truth and make a lie.  He does not come at us with straight out wickedness but he come as an angel of light to make us believe his lies. He will take something which is good and twist it into something unholy.  Far too many people accept his lies and fail to listen to God.  Ther will always be wickedness in the world and people will follow that but as believers we are called to follow God’s word and ways.  Our Lord’s ways may not be popular for society but His ways are always right. Do not let Satan deceive you through worldly ways.  God warns us that we live in this world but we are not to be like the world.  Believers are called to be like Christ and live godly lives and a witness to a lost and dying world.  When God’s word refers to something as sin, then we should not make excuses to justify that sin in our life.  Rejecting sin will not make us holier but it will give us a better testimony of Christ in our life in the presence of the lost world. Reject Satan’s lies and live for Christ every day.
