Unmasking Illusions of our Culture The Illusion of Independence & Self-sufficiency

Reality: We need God in every aspect of our lives.

“He upholds the universe by the word of his power.” Hebrews 1:3 (ESV)

“The God in whose hand is your breath.” Daniel 5:23 (ESV)

Illusions Satan Wants Us To Believe

We can go it alone without God Satan’s first lie – Genesis 3:4-5 Satan minimizes the importance of God. – Romans 1 People who “suppress the truth” v. 18. Who “did not honor him as God” v. 21. Who were “claiming to be wise” v. 22. Created to “seek God” – Acts 17:27

We don’t need God when things are going good. We turn to God in desperation. God warned Israel they would not serve the Lord when they became prosperous – Deuteronomy 28:47. Church at Laodicea were rich even though they were spiritually poor – Revelation 3:14-22.

We don’t need people of “like precious faith” in our lives They help when we are caught in transgression – Galatians 6:1-2. They help us grow into Christ – Ephesians 4:16. We all have something to contribute to the body of Christ – 1 Corinthians 12:12-30.
