Satan has been shaping minds to push people as far away from God as possible. How? He asked a simple question. "Did God really say?" Over the last one hundred years, he's used print, the press, social media and the Internet to turn the hearts of our generation away from God using doubt and questioning truth. And, let's be honest, he's done an incredible job sneaking his agenda into the popular narrative and causing us to doubt God. Paul in 2 Corinthians 2 told his audience that he would not be taken advantage of by Satan. How? For we are not ignorant of his schemes he said. Are we ignorant of Satan's schemes? Of course not. We know exactly what he is after because it's what he's always been after-truth. He's been using the same tactics since his garden debut, starting with his first question: "Did God really say...?" Since then he's been making us wonder what God really said in the Bible. Over the years, I have come to an interesting conclusion. Every problem we face today can be traced back to the first three chapters of the Bible. Why there? The first three chapters of Genesis are the beginning, the opening declaration by God of the way things are going to be. These three chapters establish our worldview. A worldview is simply how you see the world based on the truth God has stated. This Bible Study is for those who want to understand Satan's strategy in our world today and refuse to allow Satan any impact on their worldview. From this study you will see the world the way God sees the world and understand the truth of what God has really said.
