Summary

We trace the fall in Genesis 3 to show how subtle lies still bend modern life and how men counter those lies with Scripture, courage, and obedience. We call out the enemy’s three questions—about God’s Word, worth, and work—and point to trust in Christ as the way back to strength. • the Bible as the sword that equips men • what God creates, the enemy tries to corrupt • Genesis 2 to 3 as the turning point of the story • the serpent’s tactic of twisting God’s words • three assaults on the word,...

0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:20.2	All right, gentlemen, welcome back to the Daily Blade. This is week 41 that we have been doing
0:24.3	this. As I mentioned last week, next week, my fourth book, Stan Ferman and Act Like Men,
0:30.7	will be coming out. If you think that'll be helpful, I'd love for you to pick it up.
0:34.3	What we're talking about is becoming the man you were created to be instead of
0:37.9	who the world says you are. This week we're going to look at Genesis chapter three. Last week,
0:43.3	we mostly looked at Genesis chapter two, God's purpose in man before sin entered the world.
0:49.7	This week we're going to basically ask the question, well, what happened? I mean, what went wrong?
0:54.6	How in the world do we go from the Apostle Paul and William Wallace and Charles Spurgeon to a bunch of
1:00.6	bearded men in dresses mocking the last supper at the Summer Olympics? I mean, something has gone horribly
1:06.1	wrong. And so one of the things that I talk about often is, is God creates, and everything that God creates
1:13.2	the enemy, the devil, tries to corrupt. And so by the time you get to Genesis chapter three,
1:18.3	God has created everything. He's created the heavens and the earth, the sky and the sea, the birds
1:23.5	and the animals. He's created man and woman. And everything goes great for less than half a page on my
1:31.6	Bible. Then when you go from chapter two to chapter three, verse one, the Bible simply says this. Now,
1:37.6	the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.
1:44.0	And he said to the woman, did God actually say,
1:47.9	you shall not eat of any tree in the garden?
1:51.6	Again, whatever God creates, the enemy corrupts.
1:56.0	You see, he twists things.
1:58.7	In this case, he's not just going to outright say, Eve, why don't you reject God and follow after me?
2:03.5	No, no, no, no, no. What he does is he comes in with questions and he comes in with lies and he comes in with just little twists.
