“But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpentβs cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:3 NIV Read full chapter
βSatan disguises submission to himself under the ruse of personal autonomy. He never asks us to be his servants. Never once did the serpent say to Eve, βI want to be your master.β The shift in commitment is never from Christ to evil; it is always from Christ to self. And instead of His will, self-interest now rules and what I want reigns. And that is the essence of sin.β (emphasis mine)
Dennis F. Kinlaw, βThis Day With the Masterβ
βPersonal autonomyβ has become a popular theme in today’s society. Read Steve Brewer’s excellent post on how this relates to God’s Word HERE. I believe this message is essential for understanding today’s world.
Steve’s blog, The Brew Is Amusing, always brings an excellent message (and he does it in a few words!)
In His Love, Cindy
