Lies

I don't believe that there is any decision more signifcant that deciding what you will choose to believe. The world is filled with lies that sound true and truths that are falsely labeled as lies. The Bible gives us clear direction as to what we should believe and while this list is far from complete, I've listed some of the most wide-spread lies in our culture today:

1. Lie: "It's my life and I can do what I want!"
Truth: You were bought with a price (the blood of Jesus) and your life is not your own.

2. Lie: "It's my money and I can spend it however I like!"
Truth: You don't own anything. You are only a temporary manager of "your" possessions.

3. Lie: "My choices are nobody's business but my own."
Truth: Every decision you make has consequences on others.

4. Lie: "There's no point to my life."
Truth: God has plans and purposes for you beyond anything you can imagine.

5. Lie: "It's all about me!"
Truth: It's all about God.

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32
