Lies have the effect of binding us and capturing us.  It is the truth that sets us free.

For every truth that God has told us, the culture has one or more lies.  Here are a few examples:

Truth	Lie
Creation	Evolution: a theory based on made up stories about observations.  The theory has severe conflicts with the observations.  Creation has no such conflicts.
Truth	Relativism, Post Modernism, Rationalism
Almighty God	Naturalism
Creation by Almighty God	Attacks on the concept of creation that are based on an insistence that we must assume that God is not Almighty or that God must have used natural methods to create the universe and all that is in it.
Miracles	Naturalism
The spiritual realm	Naturalism and Materialism
Spiritual experience and the presence of God	Naturalism, Materialism, Relativism, Rationalism, Atheism, Agnosticism
God communicates His will to His people	Naturalism, Materialism, Relativism, Rationalism, Atheism, Agnosticism
God exists	Atheism
The Bible is the revealed Word of God	Relativism, Naturalism, Evolutionism, Atheism, Agnosticism
Man is fallen and lost without Jesus, the Savior	Liberalism and all other cults
Jesus arose from the dead and upwards of 500 people witnessed it, many of whom were willing to die rather than deny it.	Many made up stories about history that deny the resurrection.
The value of each person	Abortion and other ideas that de-value life
All things belong to God	Envy, Socialism, Communism, Jealousy
God’s Holiness	Accusations against God, gods devised by humanity,  humanity as god

The thing about lies is that they are endless.  There are an endless number of lies that can be created.  If you show one of them to be a lie, the old serpent, that father of all lies, can make up another lie.  That's what we see being taught in the culture--one lie after another.  When one is shown to be impossible the culture fights to protect the lie, finally giving up and moving smoothly to the next lie.  The only real protection against all of this is to know and love the Truth.
