  10. What does the Bible say? “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death” (Proverbs 14:12)

  11. The Ancient Lie (Genesis 3:6) • Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. • 1Jn 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. • Good for food - Lust of the Flesh • Pleasant to the eyes - Lust of the Eyes • Make one wise - Pride of life

  12. The Ancient Lie (Genesis 3:6) • Trust your experiences and your conscience. • The truth about our five senses. (Proverbs 14:12 & 16:25) • The truth about our conscience. (Romans 1:21 & Ephesians 4:17-18)

  13. The Ancient Lie in Modern Terms • I’ve prayed about it – and I’ve got total peace about it. (Numbers 22:1-24:25) • This is what everyone else does. (Genesis 6:5-8; 12-14) • This is how God made me. (1 Peter 4:1-2) • I’m just a kid. (I Tim 4:12) • My situation is unique. (Galatians 6:7-8)

  14. Do NOT be Deceived • Feeling right does not make it right • Your experience does not make it right • Many people say it is right does not make it right • Your friend say it is right does not make it right • Having peace does not make it right • Your unique situation does not make it right

  15. Recalibrate your mind • Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. • Understand God’s word in its entirety • Cross check your feeling with God’s word • Learn how to apply God’s word to the situation

  16. Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Fellow God’s word, not how we feel.
