I've seen parents and grandparents compromise the truth and their faith because they don't want to lose access to their children or grandchildren.

And that's where we have to be bold and say we love our family's best by speaking the truth and putting Jesus first.

What are some of the lies that rob you of your intimacy with God?

We're going to be exploring that topic today on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly.

And thanks for joining us.

I'm John Fuller.

John, you know, one thing I say to the team here, Focus on the Family, the leadership team, you know,

we've got to know truth as best as we can in order to manage as well as we can. And that's one of the great challenges of leadership, but it's true for everybody. What is true and what's a lie? And, you know, we glom on to little lies. I remember the one, remember if he ate your gum, it would be in your stomach seven years. I think that's a lie, but I'm still not sure. I don't want to try. And that's kind of a fun one, but there are other lies that are far more harmful. You know, the Bible says that Satan is the father of lies. John 844. It started in the garden with Genesis 3, and it didn't stop there. I mean,

even if you look at some of the cultural stuff going on now, it's about me. I want to be all knowledgeable, right? Like the humanity, we can't escape the central part of gravity,

which is God telling us the truth about who he is and who we are. And somehow we lose that understanding.

We want scripture to bend to our desires.

And that's what you see in the culture.

We don't conform to it.

But let me tell you, everybody, God will get you and he will require you to conform to it

because he loves you, not because he wants to shame you or anything like that.

I'm looking forward to this.

I read the book.

I looked at all the prep this morning.

Gene and I were going over it.
