THE BELT

OF TRUTH Ephesians 6:13-14a

"God humbled us with sickness,

plague, poverty and decay of our

economy... we threw off the yoke

of Christ and now we have

on us the yoke of

pestilence and disease."

"Only fifty years ago America was still "a

nation under God." When I was in my

teens, God was honored in our schools,

courts, government, families. But today we

are a nation that looks defiantly in the face

of the God who told us, "Thou shalt know

no god but me: for there is no savior beside

me" (Hosea 13:4).

--David Wilkerson, 1993

John 8:31-32

"To the Jews who had believed him,

Jesus said, "If you hold to my

teaching, you are really my

disciples.

Then you will know the truth, and the

truth will set you free.""

In the beginning . . .

THERE WAS ONLY ONE COMMANDMENT

FROM GOD.

Genesis 2:17

"But you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and

evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

"DID GOD REALLY SAY"

Gen 3:1

Genesis 3:4-5

""You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you

will be like God, knowing good and evil.""

Genesis 3:6

"When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who

was with her, and he ate it."

ADAM AND EVE FAILED TO TAKE

GOD'S WORD AS TRUTH . .

AND WE HAVE BEEN SUFFERING

THE CONSEQUENCES

EVER SINCE.

Hebrews 2:1

“So we must listen very

carefully to the truth

we have heard, or we may

drift away from it.”
