MY Problem

My problem =

Deceitful anxietyDeceitful riches Deceitful pleasures

Deception!!

Let’s imagine a situation (ME IN THE CENTRE)

2 Issues –

1)Who am I to take central place? 2)What about everybody else?

Jesus said:

1)“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.”2)“Love your neighbor as yourself”.

Jesus in the centre

Jesus …but we are not nobodies!God called us, chose us, loved us for a purpose. God’s children, Jesus’ younger brothers.

The real problem

Deceitful Anxiety Riches Pleasures

Destroy us!

Go against God’s righteous and loving requirements!

God’s love is the answer

E.g., regards the sexual area remember marriage is God’s idea not yours! His idea In His time His way For His purpose

God’s love endures forever.

Deception? or Devotion?

Who will keep us from deception and distractions?

Jesus will God’s love. God’s righteousness.

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
