HOW TO JUST DO IT FOR THE LORD.

GRAPPLE WITH THE PERVASIVE NATURE OF DECEPTION.

(V.

30)

YOU SEE IT AUDACIOUSLY DISPLAYED IN THE WORLD OF POLITICIANS.

YOU DETECT IT QUICKLY IN OTHERS.

YOU DENY IT NATURALLY IN YOURSELF.

I’ll do it later.

It will be just one drink.

I won’t give my heart away.

My marriage is fine.

My boss won’t know.

No one will catch me.

Folks you need to believe in the law of reaping and sowing.

You plant corn, you expect to get corn.

You don’t plant corn.

Don’t fool yourself that it doesn’t matter the next year if there are a few stalks that come up because that field had a few kernels left on it.

It will fail in the near future.

"It's the easiest Thing in the World for a Man to deceive himself."

- People often wonder, did God force Judas to betray Christ?

Look at what is said here.

Judas regretted when he saw Jesus was condemned.

Judas had a hard heart towards Christ.

All that God had to do was judicially harden Judas’ pride.

See Judas thought he knew better than Jesus.

I gather from this text that Judas just wanted to stir things up a bit.

Maybe get Jesus to take a greater stand or perhaps get the crowd fighting with the Romans to bring the

1 Sam 3:1

"It's the easiest Thing in the World for a Man to deceive himself."

"Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it."

"Women & Wine, Game & Deceit, Make the Wealth small and the Wants great."

Author: Franklin Quotes

The people did not fall for the deceptive hypocrisy of the Scribes and Pharisees.

A great number of pharisees had redefined Godliness for intellectual acknowledgement and social status.

Sinners can recognize hypocrisy and will not choose to leave the things that help them mitigate against the apparent arbitrariness and meaninglessness of life.

If religion is merely pomp and circumstance, why give up a little bit of perceived pleasure.

But when someone tires of the vain promises of sin, the message of God’s welcome brings joy and a change of mind and direction.

You mean I could have been granted forgiveness and acceptance all this time.

I substituted sex, parties etc...

Kimberly Strassel is the Potomac Watch columnist for the Wall Street Journal editorial page, and she has a nifty knack for cutting through all the BS and simply telling it like it is.

She did just that for her 200,000+ followers on Thursday after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic Socialist from New York, released a preposterous 10-year plan called the "Green New Deal" to do away with airplanes, eliminate "farting cows," end the use of fossil fuels, overhaul every building in America, and provide taxpayer cash even to those "unwilling" to work, among a slew of other absurd pies in the sky.

Strassel teed it all up by saying the document, written like a grade-school wish list, could have easily been a plant from wily Republicans.

"By the end of the Green New Deal resolution (and accompanying fact sheet) I was laughing so hard I nearly cried," Strassel wrote on Twitter.

"If a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job.

It is beautiful."

Then Strassel cited a piece by Reason's Ronald Bailey headlined "How Much Will the Green New Deal Cost?"

"2) See Ron Bailey for look at sheer number of turbines, solar panels, facilities necessary just for the 'renewable electricity' bit.

Wud need 500k square km, bigger than California.

Also note, govt will pay for these -- not private sector," she wrote.

But Strassel was just getting started.

She mocked the proposal's call to "upgrade or replace every building in US for state-of-the-art energy efficiency."

As the Daily Wire's Matt Walsh points out, "there are over 5 million commercial buildings in the U.S. Add that to the approximately 127 million households, which is to say nothing of all the schools and churches and hospitals, and you have a project that would cost trillions of dollars and take decades, at a minimum, to complete."

Said Strassel: "3) Also, AOC would put charging stations 'everywhere,' upgrade or tear down 'every building' in the country (homes and businesses), install high-speed rail across every state, upgrade all our infrastructure.

(Maybe once Ds allow permitting reform?
