Deceit

EVIL WEBS

Oh what an evil web we weave when we practice to deceive.

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Titus 1:16

Fall is upon us and with fall comes those big ole spiders and their webs. The other day I stepped out and was going to my truck and BAM! I walked right into one! The path is so deceptive, looking all clean and clear. Without the sun glistening in on it we would never see the web or the spider!

Child of God, there are those who have cast their webs in our paths without the Son shedding light on our paths—we will get taken in every time! Get into His Word! Get busy serving Him! When your path seems clear, He will shed a little light exposing a web someone has cast for you!

DECEPTION IS JUST AN AVOIDED LIE.

Oh what an evil web we weave when we practice to deceive.

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1 John 3:7

When I was growing up I held out on all of the information I was suppose to tell my parents. I did this so I wouldn’t have to tell a lie. You probably did it as well.

Sometimes it went like this… Mom, I’m going to the mall. Ok- I went to the mall... and then off to a friend’s house, down to the creek, etc. If I told Mom to a friend’s house or the creek, I would get the third degree and I would have to tell a lie.

If you are saved, why not just tell the truth? God knows what’s going on anyway! Why are you avoiding man’s judgment but willing to take God’s? Matthew 10:28, And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
