A High-Stakes Battle for Every Christian
Jesus warned that deception would grow worse as we draw nearer to the end times, saying, 'Take heed that no one deceives you' (Matthew 24:4). Distinguishing truth from error has become an increasingly challenging task-even in the church.
We live in a time when falsehoods assault us from every direction. Packaged with just enough truth to make them appear trustworthy, these counterfeits have grown more and more difficult to detect and avoid.
Living in the Daze of Deception explores the many ways error is masquerading as truth-and how you can discern the difference. From pastor Jack Hibbs, you'll learn the characteristics of deceivers and how they have brought harm to both secular culture and the church; the many deceptions that are altering and replacing the truth, and how to recognize them; and the keys to standing strong as the spiritual battles surrounding us intensify.
The greatest antidote to deception is truth. Equip yourself now to grow in discernment so that you can protect yourself from error and remain steadfast in your faith!
