“The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2:9-12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.” The Bible also says that only God knows what is in someone’s heart, so I don’t want this to be about other people, but be about ourselves. I’m constantly second guessing God and his commands when it doesn’t suit me. Many times it’s a struggle to obey God and sometimes I fail. Temptation will always be there to lean on our own understanding in contrast to God’s Word, but when we do, we are putting ourselves in a position to be deceived. Please pray that we and our friends seek the truth in every decision today. Please pray for the men that are considering CLC.
