“Everything else in life such as health, wealth, poverty of life and life itself has been created to progress toward God and serve God. It is impossible to serve both God’s principles and the world’s principles (Colossians 2:8).”

“To have zeal is to burn for one thing ; and that one thing is to please God and advance God’s glory. Zeal is a burning desire to please, God, to do His will, and to advance His glory in the world in every possible way. It is a desire which no man or woman feels by nature – which the spirit puts in the heart of every believer when he or she is converted.” - Bishop J.C. Ryle

“Diversion becomes a distraction and a problem when it distracts us from ourselve and our destiny. In the process of being addicted to diversions, we become restless people.”

“In the Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis narrates about a senior demon named Screwtape, who advises a younger and less experienced demon to do his best to divert the believer from doing what God wants them to do. He talks about things such as sex, love, pride, gluttony, and war, that Satan will send our way to prevent us from the ‘right’ thing, and keep us paying attention to the wrong things. The aim is to steal a believer from God (2 Timothy 2:25-26). Screwtape writes, "the safest road to hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.”

“The best antidote to delusion is to follow your destiny. Destiny is not something you do, but is something you are. It’s more about who you become as you discover who God created you to be.”

“In his book ‘The Screwtape Letters,’ C. S. Lewis gives plenty of examples of ways evil presents itself as desirable. For example, making sure that the patient (believer in Christ) spends plenty of time with materialistic friends, keep the patient from thinking too deeply about any spiritual matter, using everyday distraction to mislead the believer, cause the believer to become disillusioned with the church, and slowly deteriorate relationships.”

“When a person is not in the ‘image of God’, there is what is called an ‘exile’ --to be separated from God. For example, when we break God’s covenant, we are no longer in God’s image, and we are exiled or separated from God.”

“In deceit, the mind believes it is seeing the truth and will do anything to preserve this illusion. For example, the deceit in alcohol is hiding its negative consequences and luring its victim back.”

“The act of delusion is hiding the truth from yourself while deceit is hiding the truth from others.”

“Anyone can be deluded, misled or deceived by others when they lack awareness of the truth. False beliefs can become normalized through the pressure of peer groups and social media. To overcome delusion, the Bible asks that we pay close attention to our inner self, our personal growth, and truth (1 Timothy 4:16).”
