  3. The Illusion of Independence • The illusion is that we are self-sufficient • The truth is that we are interdependent (1 Corinthians 11:11-12; Romans 14:17) • Ultimately our sufficiency is from God (Deuteronomy 8:17; 2 Corinthians 3:5)

  4. The Illusion of Neutrality • We are led to believe that we can stay neutral on moral issues. • Not taking a stand is taking a stand! Luke 11:23 • We must make a choice Joshua 24:14-15
