We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking over the world. No, it\u2019s a war we feel deep inside our own chests: we are at war with lies.<\/p>\n
The problem isn\u2019t so much that we\u00a0tell<\/span>\u00a0lies but that we\u00a0live<\/span>\u00a0them. We let them into our bodies, and they sabotage our peace. All around us in the culture and deep within our own body memories are lies: deceptive ideas that wreak havoc on our emotional health and spiritual well-being, and deceptive ideas about who God is, who we are, and what the good life truly is.<\/p>\n The choice is not whether to fight or not fight, but whether we win or surrender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ancient apprentices of Jesus developed a paradigm for this war; they spoke of the three enemies of the soul: the devil, the flesh, and the world.\u00a0Live No Lies<\/span>\u00a0taps into this ancient wisdom from saints of the Way and translates the three enemies for the modern era, with all its secularism and sophistication. As a generation, we chuckle at\u00a0the devil<\/span>\u00a0as a premodern myth, we are confused by Scripture\u2019s teaching on\u00a0the flesh<\/span>\u00a0in an age where sensual indulgence is a virtue not a vice, and we have little to no category for the New Testament concept of\u00a0the world<\/span>.<\/p>\n In this provocative and practical book, bestselling author John Mark Comer combines cultural analysis with spiritual formation. He identifies the role lies play in our spiritual\u00a0de<\/span>formation and lays out a strategic plan to overcome them.<\/p>\n Do you feel the tug-of-war in your own heart, the inner conflict between truth and lies? The spirit and the flesh? The Way of Jesus and the world? It\u2019s time to start winning. It\u2019s time to live no lies\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1241563,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"wds_primary_product_brand":0,"wds_primary_product_cat":118},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1274079","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-books","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"product-type-external"},"content_native":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lwrv.org\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1274079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lwrv.org\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lwrv.org\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lwrv.org\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1274079"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lwrv.org\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1241563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lwrv.org\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1274079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lwrv.org\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1274079"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lwrv.org\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1274079"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lwrv.org\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1274079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
