Avoiding Self Deception
Manage episode 412635928 series 2494635
Okay, the photo for the episode was found after the episode was recorded. It just made me smile so I added it. We can often be a little more like Pinocchio than we should. But worst of all is when the person we are lying to is ourselves. This can be the hardest habit to break.
This episode looks at 5 Passages and a Story from the New Testament about how to identify Self-Deception and how to overcome it. I will provide those below for your own personal study and followup:
I Corinthians 3:18-19 - Overestimation of my own Wisdom - Always Be Learning!
Galatians 6:3 - Over Confident in Spiritual Position - Always Be Humble!
James 1:22 - Being a Hearer Only - Do What's Right!
James 1:26 - Not Bridling the Tongue - Monitor Your Words!
I John 1:8 - Say We Have No Sin - Admit Your Mistakes!
Guess who faltered in most of these areas in a short period of time? PETER. He was a good man and went on to be a penitent man, a man of faith, and mighty for the Lord. But in a single day he let all these elements of Self Deception lead him to sin. Later Christ found him, redeemed him, and put him to work. He can do the same for us. But we also must learn to be humble, careful students.
