The serpent did not deny God’s existence; he questioned God’s Word, stirred desire, & taught Adam & Eve to interpret reality through what looked good, felt good, & seemed wise. This shows how sin distorts perception—& how the God we ran from is the God who came looking for us.

The truth is centering, stabilizing, clarifying—if we are willing to upend our devotion to our preferred vision of the truth.

You Only Live Once is a lie because it ignores eternity. It ignores judgment. It ignores the soul. It ignores God.

The lie says: “God just wants you to be happy.” The truth says: “God wants you to be holy — and in holiness you will find a joy deeper than happiness.” The lie says: “God doesn’t care about your happiness.” The truth says: “God cares so much about your joy that He refuses to let you settle for anything less than Himself.”

The serpent’s lie leads to death. God’s truth leads to life.

Graduate Sunday

Most people don’t reject God—they just crowd Him out. Not intentionally. Not rebelliously. Just gradually.

The cross you carry is not heavier than the grace He gives. The death you die leads to the life He promised. The surrender you offer leads to the freedom you crave.

If Jesus never interrupts your life, you may not be following Him—you may be asking Him to follow you.
