OUTLINE:

Satanic Deception
We must always remember that Satan is a MASTER of deception. The most effective deceptions are the least obvious. Only the Word of God is able to shine light on them to reveal their insidiousness.

Deliverance From Deception
Only the Word of God is able to shine light on deception. We are not shrewd enough to see it by ourselves.

Perspective Is Everything
If you lack it, you lack divine viewpoint. If you’re “standing on your head”, the world is upside-down to you, making it really hard to make any sense of it.

The “Everyone’s A Victim” Lie
Satan has done a great job at convincing the world that personal responsibility is a lie. What rightly ought to be attributed to individuals is now spread across communities. Individuals are no longer to blame, sin itself eluded.

God Says, “Own it!”
Sin is accounted to individuals. If you sin, it’s your sin, not anyone else’s. If you miss out on God’s blessings as a result, it’s your fault, not anyone else’s (e.g., not your dysfunctional family’s).

The Phantom Owner Of Sin
Sin is accounted to individuals, so says Holy Scripture. When a sinner says, “It’s not my fault I sin,” they are attempting to evade personal responsibility by placing it on a phantom owner (e.g., society, parents, abusers, etc.).

Root Causes
The root cause for evil is lack of good. Better yet, the root cause is a rejection of good - Christ, the Good Shepherd. Those without Him are rudderless. (Eph 4:14-16; Lk 20:21-26)

Jas 1:17
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above.

Mothers Are a Gift From God
Pr 31:28-29
Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
“Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.”

1Jn 3:1
See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

God chose Mary for a reason…
…enough said.
