#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.

Introducing the World of Lies Video Series

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.

#3 - Deceived About the Truth

August 24, 2020 • Steve Gallagher

What hope can we have that we will ever be able to get a hold of Truth? When we look around Western civilization, we see a self-acclaimed progressive culture that has stripped away any meaning from the word “truth.” Truth has become nothing more than feelings, emotions and subjective experience. The plight in the Western Church is not much better. Despite overwhelming access to Biblical knowledge, little or no fruit is being manifested in multitudes of professing Christians' daily lives. Even for those who hold tightly to orthodox doctrine, there can be a temptation to keep the Truth from going any further than head knowledge. Our only hope is a hunger for the Truth. Our only hope is a one-on-one relationship with God. Our only hope is humbly receiving the Word of God and allowing it to transform our minds.
