Daze Of Deception
Jesus warned that deception would grow worse as we draw nearer to the end times, saying, “Take heed that no one deceives you” (Matthew 24:4). Distinguishing truth from error has become increasingly challenging—even in the church. We live in a time when falsehoods assault us from every direction. Packaged with just enough truth to make them appear trustworthy, these counterfeits have grown more and more difficult to detect and avoid. Living in the Daze of Deception explores the many ways error is masquerading as truth—and you’ll learn how you can discern the difference.

Paul is a great example of what it means to be a Christian. He isn’t concerned about rejection, but His thoughts are for the people. Paul served the Lord with great humility, and tears. And, he kept his eyes on Jesus, even through severe trials and testing.

You can be right in the center of God’s will, while smack in the middle of a storm. Paul’s journey around Ephesus was filled with delays, hardships, and strong opposition from those who worshipped other Gods. Still, he considered it a blessing, and was able to overcome it.

God values souls over financial gain. And, we’ll see this when Paul preaches to the crowds at Ephesus. The sellers of idols were losing income and blamed Paul for it. So, they shouted back at Paul in anger. Satan will come at us, with either loud boisterous attacks, or he’ll use a subtle calmness to stop our effect on others for the Gospel.

What can we expect when Satan comes to attack us? As we move forward in following Christ, Satan will try to deceive us with lies. But, like Paul, we have a great responsibility to the Gospel. So, we’re to trust in the Lord, walk in the Holy Spirit with integrity, and have a heart for the church.

There’s a great danger in imitating God’s work. A false truth can have eternal consequences that leads to destruction, because Satan is behind it. We need to know Christ, and have the Holy Spirit working in our lives to decipher the works of the devil.

God worked unusual miracles through Paul for many reasons. These miracles were to teach spiritual truths to open up the heart and mind. They were to announce that Jesus Christ is the Messiah to a dying world. And, they were to reveal God’s love and compassion.

Paul preached from the Old Testament of the Bible to try and persuade the crowd to receive Christ. It’s only the Bible’s supernatural power that can pierce our hearts and discern our thoughts. But, many rejected his message and spoke evil of Paul, and of Christ. So, he withdrew himself and the disciples who were with him.

Paul hears a message from a man named Apollos, who is a well educated Jew, and a gifted speaker. His message, however, was only a call to repent from the teachings of John The Baptist. It wasn’t insincere, or even inaccurate, it was just incomplete. There was no cross, no resurrection and no power of the Holy Spirit.
