Seven Sweet Lies (You might already believe)
February 15, 2008
Are you sitting down? Okay, good! Let’s get started.
Lie #1: “Love is all you need”
1 needy person + 1 needy person = 1 complete person.
Human love is the answer to all my needs.
The Truth: 1 needy person + 1 needy person = 2 needy people.
God’s love is the answer to all your problems. Eph. 2:4-10
Lie #2: “Can’t we all just get along?” “Just love me” “Don’t condem me”
The Truth: We can’t just get along. Gal. 6:1-5, John. 14:6
Lie #3: “Love yourself”
The Truth: You have no value in and in of yourself. Rom. 3:23-24, Rom. 5:6-8
Lie #4: “Believe in yourself”
The Truth: Believe in God, He can do it” Job 38:1-11
Lie #5: “Follow your heart”
The Truth: Your heart is evil. Jer. 17:9, Eph. 4:22-24
Follow your heart and die, follow Jesus and live.
Lie #6: “Be yourself”
The Truth: Luke 9:23-25
Lie #7: “It’s my life”
The Truth: It’s not your life. Exodus 4:11
These are from the notes I took during the “Seven Sweet Lies” lecture, by Brandon Booth. At Worldview Academy Leadership Camp, at Miami University, in Oxford, OH. June 24-29 2007.
