Avoiding Deception

the long version

Webster defines deceived as when a person believes what is not truth to be truth...to be mislead. How a Christian recognizes and responds to Satan's tactics can determine their eternal destiny. We cannot close our eyes to the darkness and think we will not have to face it, confront it and bring the light of the Gospel into it. While we are receptive to the wonderful workings of the Holy Spirit, we must also listen and be watchful in this hour. There are traps of offense, seduction, apathy, lustful attractions and distractions toward other things pulling at all Christians. If we are going to overcome to the end, we must guard our hearts from deception.
