We’ve come to a critical point in our series, World of Lies. So far, we’ve discussed how deception works and why it’s so dangerous to the Christian. We’ve looked at how our culture is constantly feeding us ungodly messages and seen that even the church is filled with proponents of these same lies. Now we turn and begin examining how to really Walk in Truth in a World of Lies. Today we look at the first part of that process. It begins with a choice that every one of us must make at some point in our lives. This choice is much like the one God asked Abraham to make. He had to choose to forsake his life in a pagan nation, leave everything he had ever known, and to go to a land God would show him. God is asking each one of us to make that same choice, trusting Him, like Abraham, to bring us to a better land. So, will you heed the call, and once and for all Forsake the Land of Deception?

Introducing the World of Lies Video Series
August 3, 2020 • Steve Gallagher
Welcome to World of Lies. Scripture repeatedly warns of deception on a massive scale in the Last Days, so why are Christians seemingly so unconcerned? Has their access to theological information and their acceptance of orthodox doctrine caused them to believe they are impervious to being deceived? It's time for every Christian to humble ourselves and ask the Lord to purify our hearts. We hope this series will help you to find the truth, live in the truth and love the truth.
#1 - A Concealed Threat
August 3, 2020 • Steve Gallagher
Every lie and half-truth carries with it a hidden danger ready to steal, kill and destroy our life in God. There’s an unexpected danger that is threatening a person who’s constantly being barraged with lies: a person can start to think that it’s impossible to know what’s true and what’s a lie and this can give way either to despair or to cynicism, both of which are dangerous paths for the Christian.
#2 - The Truth about Deception
August 17, 2020 • Steve Gallagher
When the biblical writers talked about the last days, one main characteristic of these times emerged: deception on a massive scale; a global assault on truth that would deceive not only the unbelieving world, but multitudes inside the four walls of the Church. I don’t think that there’s any question that we are living in the very last of those Last Days. If that’s true, then there is one thing we know for sure. We are being lied to every day, all day, in a bunch of different ways. We’re going to look at some of the specific ways that deception confronts all of us in future interviews, but today we want to look at the truth about deception: what it is. How it works. Why people are deceived.
