From the Pulpit...

Over seventy-five times in the Bible the word deceived is used. Many of these texts are warnings of being deceived and others are the dangers of deception of false teachers. From the book of Genesis we know Eve ate from the forbidden tree and said she was deceived by the serpent. In Revelation we see the devil deceived people in the world and thus will suffer the lake of fire for eternity. So this begs the question, how does one become entangled in deception such that the person deceives him or herself?
