Central Baptist Church of Ponca City, OK
DATE: Wednesday, December 14, 2022
SERMON BY: Dr. John Waterloo
SERMON TITLE: The Saddest form of Deception is Self-deception!
SERMON THEME: Gaslighting: Insidious Manipulation and Deception
SERMON SERIES: Proverbs
SERMON TEXT: Proverbs 21:2; 16:25; 30:12

Tests to Prove Ourselves and Prevent Self-deception
1. The Source test - consider the source (2Tim 3:13, 14)
2. The Fruits test - We know people by what they produce
3. The Time test - The Wheat and Tares story.  Time is a wonderful friend.

Questions to ask ourselves
1. Does our pastor and other spiritual friends believe we are wrong?
2. Do others see it differently and are concerned?
3. Does our “way” contradict our 2000-year old Christian traditions?

Proverbs 21:2   Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.

Proverbs 16:25   There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Proverbs 30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
