Identity Theft: The Stolen Self

Identity crisis and the impact of identity theft in the USA are explored, with staggering statistics revealing the pervasiveness of the issue. The theft extends beyond personal data to encompass essential aspects of life. This epidemic entails a loss of purpose, gender identity struggles, altered reality perceptions through substances, family breakdowns, and more. The text highlights the consequences of these stolen facets, urging a return to core values and rediscovery of true identity through faith and self-examination. Ultimately, it emphasizes a path towards recuperating what has been lost and embracing an abundant life through Jesus.

  3. Gen. 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, nor shall you touch it, or you shall die.’” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not die; 5 for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

  4. Gen. 3:8  They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”

This number is expected to increase markedly over time, with projections suggesting it will reach around 400,000 by 2020 and 900,000 by 2050. Dementia is a leading cause of death, accounting for 6% of all deaths in 2010. Total direct health and aged care services expenditure on people with dementia was at least $4.9 billion in 2009-10.

  11. Lam. 3:40Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the Lord. 41 Let us lift up our hearts as well as our hands to God in heaven. Hos. 6:1Come, let us return to the Lord; for it is he who has torn, and he will heal us; he has struck down, and he will bind us up.

  12. Acts 17:26 From one ancestor he made all nations to inhabit the whole earth, and he allotted the times of their existence and the boundaries of the places where they would live, 27 so that they would search for God and perhaps grope for him and find him—though indeed he is not far from each one of us. 28 For ‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we too are his offspring.’

  13. John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
