Day 17. If you’re going to live in purity, you can’t just resist temptation—you have to reject the world’s lies and stand on God’s truth.
🪞 Introduction: The World Is Lying to You
Brother, let’s be real—the world is screaming at us every day:
👉 “You’re only a man if you sleep around.”
👉“Porn is normal—it’s healthy.”
👉“Success is money, status, and followers.”
👉“Do whatever feels good—truth is relative.”
But all of it is lies. Straight from the pit of hell. 💀
If you’re going to live in purity, you can’t just resist temptation—you have to reject the world’s lies and stand on God’s truth.
🕳️ My Story: Believing the Wrong Voice
I used to buy into those lies. I thought manhood was about how many women I could hook up with, how drunk I could get, how “cool” I looked to my friends.
But behind the mask, I was empty. Every high left me lower. Every lie I believed chained me tighter.
The shift came when I realized: the world doesn’t get to define me—Jesus does.
📖 Scripture on the World’s Lies
1 John 2:15–17 (NIV):
“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
John 8:44 (NIV):
“…When [the devil] lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
Every worldly lie has one author—the enemy.
Romans 12:2 (NIV):
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
Transformation begins when you stop conforming to lies and start renewing with truth.
