Who Do You Trust? (Part Two)
Sermon by Mark SchindlerTrusting satan's word produced the exact opposite of trust in God that is built on obedience to His Word alone. This action caused the opposite effect intended or expected. Everything that God declares as good for food, good to behold, and wisdom is absolute while the wisdom of vain men full of prideful riches of this world including judging good and evil is far from trustworthy. Life and wisdom do not come from doing things that satisfy self-centered lust of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life but from trusting the Word of God through Jesus Christ. Trust is submitting to Christ in faith within the place He has chosen to put us. God has allowed mankind to be on the edge of destruction as a result of self-serving broken trust. This literally began with distrust of His wisdom and truth in the garden. As complicated as the problems of this world are they all boil down to misplaced trust. This world is slivered into thousands of pieces of distrust of everything and everyone because they do not and cannot see the only One who could be totally trusted. Brilliant minds blinded by their own soaring intellect are hurtling toward disaster. They have become very clearly confronted with good and evil but having not the wisdom to handle it. Without the wisdom of God men make and continue making untrustworthy choices. Truth and trust go together but with the foolishness of men truth is compromised to get things done.
