One of the deepest human longings is the longing to belong. We have a need to be needed, a desire to be desired. We want to be part of a group where we feel accepted, where we fit in.

We don’t have to look very hard in the Bible to find warnings about spiritual deception. Several of them come out of the mouth of Jesus. For example, Matthew 24:11, “Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.”


Doing the will of God requires growth and maturity, and a willingness to be used in the lives of others.

John Stott once put it like this:
“Sin and the child of God are incompatible. They may occasionally meet; they cannot live together in harmony.”
Sin disrupts our fellowship with God. Fellowship with God disrupts our relationship with sin.
