Lance, Lies, and A Look In The Mirror - #6820
We may think lying is no big deal. It is to God, and we're going to answer to Him some day. On the Bible list of "six things the Lord hates," lying is the only one that appears twice in Proverbs 6:16-19. And in our word today from the Word of God in Psalm 101:7, He bluntly declares that "no one who practices deceit will dwell in My house." God is a God of truth. Lying sets God against me. Dishonesty is a very big deal.

How Good Soldiers Go Down - #6192
Putting on your armor means consciously choosing the spiritual resources of Jesus as the ways you will respond to every attack. Don't concentrate on the attack that's coming your way. Concentrate instead on the things that make you strong - the full armor of God that makes Satan retreat!

Guile in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Nathanael receives high praise from Jesus in the passage. Jesus says that there's no guile--deceit--in his heart. Is that something that could be said of you?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Levees the Flood Can't Break - #8078
When you know a flood is possible, you do need to build your levees high around a town, or even around your marriage. Marriages have got a flood of pressures on them, problems, and demands, and temptations. It’s really challenging to make a marriage work these days.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Gilligan Zone - #5598
With one short-sighted decision, Esau entered what I call the Gilligan Zone. You decide to do something that will feel good for a while, thinking it will only be a three-hour tour. But you end up in the Gilligan Zone, farther than you ever wanted to go, staying longer than you ever wanted to stay. And for you, that may be no TV plot, it has happened to you. It all starts when we do an Esau. We do something because it will get us through right now, it will meet a need for us, only to hurt from it for years to come.
