Self-Deception

Stop the Self-Deception

It’s hard to see the truth, with all the lies swirling about. And, there seem to be fewer and fewer people that you can trust.

So, how do you get to the truth?

That’s a tough one, especially since your first opponent on the road to truth is yourself. You – yes you – are an incredible obstacle to seeing the truth. This is true for all of us.

The question is…

…Are you willing to let go of yourself, to find something as precious as the truth?

I have to keep telling myself this, which is why I’m telling you.

You will never see the truth, if you keep standing in the way of it.

WEEKEND SHOCKCAST: Our Sin Runs Through It

As I look back on this week, I see a theme that runs through it – our sinfulness. We have made compromises on the truth. We have compromised our morality. And, we have chosen pastors who do the same.

And, when that happens, God sends strong delusions among us:

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
 – 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

The word for ‘damned’ is the Greek word, krithosin – or, should be judged. And, THAT is what is happening right now. We are being judged by God.

Chipping Away at the Normalcy Bias

Getting people to wake up to what is really happening is an amazing challenge. I’ve been trying to do that, in one form or another, for almost twenty years. However, even I did not truly begin to understand what was going on until God shook me awake in 2011.

So, when I see someone else stuck firmly in a normalcy bias. All that I really can do is offer a few bits of incontrovertible evidence and a prayer that God will do what He did to me – shake ’em awake.

Unfortunately, this means that God will need to knock the other person down, which is a really hard process to go through. So, you’ll need to stick around to help pick up the pieces.
