The Genesis Project

Satan. Literally "the accuser". This is perhaps the devil's most infamous title and role. Like a prosecuting attorney in a court of law, the devil accuses us of guilt.

Leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less. And everyone is under the influence of someone. Our enemy the devil is an influencer, whose goal is leading humanity astray.

Every epic story has heroes and villains. God's story is no different, except that in His story, the villain is already defeated.

Temptation. All of us face it, every day of our lives, and the devil is a tempter. But what does that mean? And how much of what we face in life is an enticement from Satan vs. our own desires leading us forward?

A liar and the father of lies. The devil is a deceiver with an agenda, and that agenda? Murder.

The devil. Many believe he's a figment of the human imagination. Even more believe he's the fallen angel Lucifer, now twisted by pride into the horned monster of Milton & Dante. But what does the Bible actually say about the devil? Who does the Bible actually say that he is?

One thing is sure: it calls him our enemy.

The average person is maintaining between 35 and 75 relationships. How does a "holy life" impact those relationships?

"What is my purpose?" It's a question that so many of us ask on a regular basis. What if the answer isn't so much about figuring out what YOU were made for, but emphasizes what WE were made for?

Are Christians really any different than people who aren't? The answer, according to a series of recent polls is..."not so much, except they're hypocrites."

It's a scathing assessment, but one we have to take seriously. We weren't called to live hypocritical lives. We were called to live holy lives. But how do we do that? How do we change that?

Holy. It's a word that conjures up images of impossible moral perfection, or hypocritical self-designations of superiority. Yet the Bible frequently uses this word to refer to God...and perhaps more unsettling, those who belong to Him. How can a person be "holy" if none of us are really all that good? How can someone be "holy" without being "holier than thou"?
