It has been said, "Tell a big enough lie, repeat it enough times, and people will eventually believe it." From the beginning, Satan, has been spreading some pretty big lies about God. And yet, some of them have been repeated so often that we are tempted to believe them. This week we examine the idea that God’s number one goal is for us to be happy. That assumption can lead us to doubt God’s love or power when hardship hits. That same assumption can lead us to clearly ignore God’s word in pursuit of the desires of our sinful flesh. Rather than short-term happiness, God wants us to cling to his word so that we enjoy eternal paradise.
