Headlines can make it feel like everything’s slipping, but look closer and you’ll spot the quiet course corrections reshaping daily life. We walk through a set of concrete wins—each from a different corner of culture—that point to a broader turn toward sanity, safety, and conscience. In Texas, a unanimous ruling clarifies that judges are not forced to violate religious convictions, a small-town question that now sets a statewide standard. In Silicon Valley, smart shareholder engagement nudges Apple to expand Communication Safety to all minors and hide adult-only apps from teen accounts, proving that stewardship beats outrage when you want lasting change.

We also dig into the stakes of state elections, where rhetoric meets consequence. A Virginia race flips twelve points after an extreme message surfaces, reminding us that voters still draw lines—and that constitutional questions on life, parental consent, and marriage won’t be decided by apathy. Beyond politics, we unpack a surprising trend in the Catholic Church: younger priests lean more conservative and more pro‑life, signaling a generational shift toward biblical clarity. That same current is surfacing on campus, where thousands gather at secular universities for worship and many make first‑time commitments to faith.

Symbols and policies are moving together. Ten Commandments displays are returning under new state laws, even as legal challenges play out. City leaders in deep‑blue areas are signaling renewed attention to law and order. And a high‑profile Medal of Freedom moment centers faith, courage, and the idea—echoing the Founders—that religion and morality are essential supports for a free society. If you’ve wondered whether principled action still matters, these stories say yes. Your voice helps push the next domino.

Sermon Overview

Scripture Passage: Genesis 3:1

Satan is a liar and a murderer; he wants to bring death to our happiness, joy, and purity, and he accomplishes this through lies. He wants to destroy us, and he begins by deceiving us.

Genesis 3:1 says, “Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field…”

Satan cleverly crafts subtle lies about the biggest truths. In the Garden of Eden, he tells Eve three lies concerning the nature and character of God. Recognizing his tactics helps us overcome satanic deception.

Severity

Satan’s first tactic was to convince Eve to think severely about God, so that she had negative feelings about him.

The devil wants us to think God is strait-laced and cruel, and that our relationship with Him would be filled with “don’t!” But Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” God is good and loving. He does not take away joy; He gives it.

Skepticism

The devil also wants us to think skeptically about God so that we will not trust Him or His Word.

When Satan removes the truth of God’s Word, then he slips in other ideas to replace them. Other religions, spiritual practices, and New Age thoughts are simply substitutes from the enemy to divert us from the fixed standard of truth. The devil is trying to make us think lightly of God; but God is holy, and He will punish sin.

Suspicion

Finally, Satan will try to convince us to think suspiciously of God. Many people think serving God cramps their style and robs them of reaching their fullest potential. Yet, the devil, who promises total freedom, keeps his victims in bondage.

Adrian Rogers says, “There’s nothing in the world more deceiving than sin itself; those who know the least about sin are those who are the deepest in it.”

All the problems in the world today are rooted in these three ancient lies, but we do not have to fall victim to the devil’s deception. Only when we commit ourselves to the written word of God, can we overcome the devil’s lies.

Apply it to your life

Do not let the devil deceive you. yourself in the truth of God’s Word today. God is a God of love and grace. His law stands, and a relationship with Him means abundant life.

No matter how much we desire to be a Kingdom Christian, no one has the power to actually become one… until God gives us the ability. Dr. Tony Evans presents an enlightening look at unleashing Kingdom power.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that whenever we run ahead of God, it doesn’t end well for us. But, if we just worship, and wait upon the Lord, He will often move Heaven and earth on our behalf.

We’ve been looking at ten reasons we should be creationists, and we’re at number five: worship.

When we allow God’s Word to be the authority, it inspires a high view of God, which inspires worship. But when we take man’s word over God’s Word, we’re deciding truth for ourselves. This doesn’t lead to a high view of God!

And consider this: when we look at all God’s made, what usually happens? We’re moved to worship the all-powerful Creator! But if it’s all the result of natural processes, with just some intervention from God at some point, why should we be moved to worship him?

It’s biblical creation that actually inspires worship.
