Series: Satan's Favorite Lies
Dr. Larry Osborne

THE ANCIENT LIE

- As long as we're sincere - any path works.
- A God of love would never send anyone to hell.
- Lots of good deeds can balance out a few bad deeds.
- Only an ignorant bigot thinks Jesus is the only way.

THE TRUTH ABOUT. . .

SINCERITY
Genesis 3:4-6/ Romans 10:1-3/ John 4:22-24
