Isaiah chapter 44 describes a man who has given himself to an idol and in his deception begins to feed on ashes and doesn't realize that something is amiss. Deception is the truth mixed with a little bit of a lie, but that little bit of a lie works its way through the whole batch of dough. Does your lifestyle resemble one of true holiness, seeking after God? Or does it resemble a mismatched comparison between the words you speak and the actions you make? Today there is freedom if you are walking a poser lifestyle and in deception. But you need others to get free, and praise God because He has faithfully given that through the church, His body.
