Below are some simple instructions on how to use this template:
1. You can change the text in the graphical screen above or in the outline area to the left. 2. There is one default background that is indicated by “ ” .This slide acts as a space or a blank screen, use to clear or blank the screen. If you have a large graphic such as a map you could also use this screen. If you insert a new slide you will get this default background.
3. The first five slides have the other backgrounds for the set. To use more than one of these background types in your presentation highlight the one you wish to use and choose copy from the edit menu. Paste this slide where you want it to appear in your presentation, then change the text on this new slide. By copy/pasting the slide in this manor you will keep the background, text formatting and the customized animation from that slide. By using the copy/paste method you find it saves you time and keeps a consistent look through out your presentation.
4.There are a few additional notes written in the slide text wording that may be helpful.
Note: We are working on a website that in the future will provide help topics on using sermon outlines in PowerPoint as well as provide sermon templates similar to this one. Check for more information.

6. Doctrine of Flattery: I
Doctrine of Flattery: I. Definition: Flattery is a form of Verbal Sin where you practice excessive, false or sycophantic praise, trying to arouse favorable or gratifying attention towards yourself.

7. Psa 12:2, “They speak falsehood to one another; with flattering lips and with a double heart they speak.”

8. II. Flattery is related to the Arrogance Complex of Sins: Jude1:16, “These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.”

9. D. Inferiority Complex. Being preoccupied with self and your flaws believing you are no good, or a lesser human being than others.

10. They try to rationalize or justify their decisions and behaviors, or they are constantly trying to prove that they are superior compared to others.

11. They are highly susceptible to the flattery of others and are always looking for flattery and/or those that flatter.

12. E. Clique Syndrome. A narrow exclusive group in which clique leadership and the clique group are bound by mutual admiration and emotional dependency of one another.

13. Psa 12:2, “They (the clique) speak falsehood to one another; with flattering lips and with a double heart they speak. 3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaks great things; 4Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”

14. In the dominate-adaptive clique the bond is emotional dependence on leadership who provides profuse flattery and attention which controls the dependents, to think and do whatever the controller desires.

15. The emotional pattern of the dependent ones is eased through extravagant and generous flattery, reinforced with all kinds of attention including “counseling sessions.”

16. In the co-dependency clique, it is more of a mutual emotional dependence society. They gather to puff each other up with the unstated secondary objective to tear others down.

17. Prov 26:28, “A lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a flattering mouth works ruin.”

18. Psa 12:2 & 4, “They speak falsehood to one another; with flattering lips and with a double heart they speak. 4Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”

19. They even use flattery on those they have just gossiped about in order to cover their tracks and maintain their righteous reputation.

20. Psa 12:4 indicates they also have Authority Orientation problems.

21. F. Inordinate Competition Found in social, sexual, and spiritual spheres of life, it is a sign of arrogance, pride, jealousy, and insecurity.

22. It comes with the facade of sweetness, flattery, and even pseudo spirituality, but behind it is an arrogant, jealous, insecure and hypocritical person, waiting to strike like a viper.

23. G. Sexual Arrogance, The seduction of others by luring them into sexual immorality through flattery, achieved by a flirtatious attitude designed to receive flattery back in return.

24. It is designed to stimulate the arrogance complex of sins, leading to sexual immorality and conquest. Many times it is directed towards important people; (sycophantic).

25. 2 Tim 3:6, “For among them, (arrogant men), are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, 7always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

26. “Weak or silly” women are vulnerable to flattery and are seducible
“Weak or silly” women are vulnerable to flattery and are seducible. Arrogant men take advantage of women who are reacting to someone they love.

27. The woman with reflected beauty rather than projected beauty is the weak or silly woman here.

28. 1 Tim 5:6, “But she who gives herself to wanton pleasure is dead even while she lives.”

29. “Wanton” - headstrong and willful, sexually lawless and unrestrained
“Wanton” - headstrong and willful, sexually lawless and unrestrained. She is socially competitive, unrestrained, provocative in flirtation, vulnerable to flattery, with a lack of sexual restraint.

30. She is described by “reckless, arrogant, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,” 2 Tim 3:4.

31. Eccl 7:26, “I have discovered more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are chains. However, the person who is pleasing to God will escape from her. But the sinner (arrogant male) will be captured by her.”

32. H. Flirtatiousness Eph 5:3-4
