2 Corinthians 11

13 Those men are not true apostles—they are false apostles, who lie about their work and disguise themselves to look like real apostles of Christ.

14 Well, no wonder! Even Satan can disguise himself to look like an angel of light!

15 So it is no great thing if his servants disguise themselves to look like servants of righteousness. In the end they will get exactly what their actions deserve.

1 Corinthians 3

18 You should not fool yourself. If any of you think that you are wise by this world's standards, you should become a fool, in order to be really wise.

19 For what this world considers to be wisdom is nonsense in God's sight. As the scripture says, “God traps the wise in their cleverness”;

1 Romans

20 Ever since God created the world, his invisible qualities, both his eternal power and his divine nature, have been clearly seen; they are perceived in the things that God has made. So those people have no excuse at all!

21 They know God, but they do not give him the honor that belongs to him, nor do they thank him. Instead, their thoughts have become complete nonsense, and their empty minds are filled with darkness.

22 They say they are wise, but they are fools;

23 instead of worshiping the immortal God, they worship images made to look like mortals or birds or animals or reptiles.

1 John 4

1 My dear friends, do not believe all who claim to have the Spirit, but test them to find out if the spirit they have comes from God. For many false prophets have gone out everywhere.

2 This is how you will be able to know whether it is God's Spirit: anyone who acknowledges that Jesus Christ came as a human being has the Spirit who comes from God.

3 But anyone who denies this about Jesus does not have the Spirit from God. The spirit that he has is from the Enemy of Christ; you heard that it would come, and now it is here in the world already.

(Save below for another sermon, the role of Satan is kind of hard to talk about in only a sentence or two).

And who is our worldview going to steer us to? Trick. God.

1 Timothy 1

19 and keep your faith and a clear conscience. Some people have not listened to their conscience and have made a ruin of their faith.

20 Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have punished by handing them over to the power of Satan; this will teach them to stop their blasphemy.

1 Corinthians 5

3-4 And even though I am far away from you in body, still I am there with you in spirit; and as though I were there with you, I have in the name of our Lord Jesus already passed judgment on the man who has done this terrible thing. As you meet together, and I meet with you in my spirit, by the power of our Lord Jesus present with us,

5 you are to hand this man over to Satan for his body to be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.

Only boring people get bored.

The chemicals that make you feel happy are in here (your mind)

Not outside you. Not in a smartphone, a TV, a computer screen, a video game, another person, outside.

So the number 1 determinate of your enjoyment out of any activity isn’t the activity, it’s you.
