False Advertising

(TV advertisements)

Man 1: Melt ten pounds in ten minutes!

Woman: Instant health at the flip of a switch!

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: Sounds like some deceptive advertising to me.

Man 2: Become a world-class violinist instantaneously!

Nancy: Most deception isn’t quite so easy to detect.

Man 3: Did God really say that you must not eat of any tree in the garden?

Nancy: The devil was the first deceptive advertiser. He knew Eve would reject an all-out assault on God, but a combination of half-truths and falsehoods disguised as truth persuaded her to disobey. He uses the same technique on us today.

Jesus described the devil, saying: “When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44). As you listen to various messages today, would you ask yourself: What is the real message here? Is it true? Am I being deceived by a way of thinking that’s contrary to the truth?

With Seeking Him, I'm Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
