Good morning everyone and welcome back to another Mornings with the Masters.

We're a devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you.

Good morning, you guys.

Good morning, indeed.

We're picking back up with new morning mercies.

So without further ado, Tories, just going to take it from here.

Yes, y'all. Let's do it.

The devotional says this.

The scary deception of sin is that at the point of sinning, sin doesn't look all that sinful.

We lose sight of the sinfulness of sin or the evil of evil.

And when we do, we are vulnerable to the seductive lies of temptation.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why there are stories like this in the Bible.

Mark 9, 14 through 29.

And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them.

And scribes arguing with them.

And immediately, all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him.

And he asked them, what are you arguing about with them?

And someone from the crowd answered him,

teacher, I brought my son to you for he has a spirit that makes him mute.

And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes

rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out and they were not able.

And he answered them, O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you?
