Identity (Part 1) by Don Campbell

Genesis 3:1-5

Identity Crisis

Matthew 4:1-7

The Identity of Christ

Satan's primary temptation is to make us forget the Identity God has given us and to evaluate our standing by some other criteria

Comparison leads to two of Satan's favorite sins:

PRIDE or DESPAIR

Pride leads to hardness of heart to God and hatred of others

Despair leads us to depression, fear and indulgence in our lusts.

"Satan starts with what you did, and tears down who you are.  The Holy Spirit starts with what Christ has declared over you, and helps you rebuild what you did"

No Other Gods (Part 4) by Don Campbell

We worship whatever it is we deem to be most essential for life and happiness. 

If something becomes so important to me that it drives my behavior and commands my emotions, I am worshipping it.

"Things like worry, fear, sadness, and depression are 'smoke from the fires' rising from the altars of our idolatry."  

~ St. Augustine

Colossians 3:5-6

Idolatry = "Whatever belongs to your earthly nature"

James 4:3-5

Adulterous Prayers

We are adulterers to God when we demand that He give us things so we may find happiness, contentment, and security in them RATHER than in Him.

Anything we substitute for God leaves us yearning...
EMPTY

We weren't created for another human being, we were created for God

Isaiah 43:7
"Whom I created for my Glory, whom I formed and made"

Idols promise fulfillment but deliver disillusionment. 

Idols produce anxiety and fear not joy and peace.

Life expands or contracts in direct proportion to one's fear.
