Telling the Truth for Women

Jill Briscoe

The Morality Trap

November 29, 2019

If the enemy can't separate you from God, he's content to do the next best thing... distract you with subtle traps that will draw you away from God. These traps may seem like normal things in life that you manage every day—time, money, self. But if you get caught up in the bait he sets in these areas, you'll struggle with priorities and gradually begin to turn away from God. And you might not even realize it. 

Jill teaches about these deceptive traps that women, in particular, often wander into. What specific bait are you most susceptible to? How can you resist and steer clear of the traps set before you? Are you stuck in one right now? As Jill explains, the tools to break free are waiting for you in God's Word.

Have you planned your funeral? Few of us have. We like to think of death as something far off in the future. Then once we do acknowledge death, sometimes we fall into "You Only Live Once" thinking and fill our time with whatever pleases us. But God never promised us a long life! He has our days numbered, and only He knows when that number is up and we'll be called to be with Him. In this message, Jill Briscoe cautions us to avoid the "Minute Trap" and offers us a better perspective on what this life really is and how we should use the time God has given us.

We've all been on both sides of hurtful words. We've insulted and been insulted, gossiped and been gossiped about. We've spoken words that have been obscene, profane, idle, or unkind. It's no wonder the Bible is full of references to the tongue—so much destruction and yet so much encouragement, all from one little member of the body!  In this message, Jill Briscoe gives us an acrostic of "tongue" with examples of the tongue's destructive characteristics, as well as their opposites, so we can avoid the "Mouth Trap."

We live in a culture that encourages greed. We feel the need to "keep up with the Joneses" and own things that we don't necessarily want or need. We are lured in by the "greed cheese" that Satan puts in the "Money Trap." But everything we have isn't even ours—it all belongs to God, and He entrusts us with what He knows we can handle.  In this message, Jill Briscoe teaches about the role money should play in our lives and gives us practical and challenging advice on how we should view and be good stewards of money.

When little troubles appear in our lives, we can be surprised and wonder why God would allow such things to happen to us. Such thinking reveals that we may have fallen into the "Me Trap": Satan tempts us with "easy cheese" promising an easy life. But God never promised that life would be comfortable!  In this message, Jill Briscoe shows us how the troubles and pain in our lives are actually a way God molds us into Christ-like people.

It's common today to see women fight in the military, hold political office, and work jobs formerly dominated by men. But 2,000+ years ago, women had few rights and little worth in society. That didn't matter to Jesus—He had a heart for women, and it's shown in every conversation and interaction He had with them.  Jill's series teaches about women in the Bible who spent time with Jesus. But if you go deeper, you'll discover its real lesson—no matter what your story is or where you've come from, no matter if you've lived a good life or made mistakes, every woman (every human for that matter!) has the same thing in common. We all need a Savior.  Single? Suffering? Sorrowful? Sinful? Then listen closely and hear how much you are valued and loved by God's son.

In this message, Jill takes us to Matthew 25 and the parable of the talents. The question is, how faithful are you in maximizing what God has given you?

When it comes to "scheming," that all started in the Garden of Eden. It was always God's intention that we would rely on Him, but instead Adam and Eve took matters into their own hands.

If you're a single woman, know a single woman, or are the mother or father of a single woman, this message is for you.

Mary and Martha opened their home to Jesus. The two were very different types of women. Martha had the gift of hospitality and was a doer. Mary has other, mystical gifts, and was content to sit at the feet of Jesus.

Has your perception of sexuality been warped? Our culture feeds us an idolized image of sex that is dramatically distant from God's intent. But just as the world is explicit about sex, so is God's Word! He clearly outlines His intent for the sexual experience.  During His ministry, Jesus demonstrated perfect love to all kinds of sinful people—including women known for their sexual sin. Jill points to Christ's encounters with these women, to reveal Jesus' standard for sexual behavior and of His grace when we fall. Can we accept His truth about sex and live according to His grace?
