An old song I remember starts with "There's something wrong with the world today". I have notfound anyone who has disagreed with that. Things just seem to get worse everyday.
Attached is the 3rd GoodNewsLetter. This week, we look into who Satan is and how he deceivedmankind into rejecting God and accepting his way of death and destruction.
We need to know this to know what is wrong with the world today. This is the 1st step in settingthings right.
Jesus said in John 8:32 that "... you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." When wewalk in that freedom, we can stand our ground and say to Satan what Neo said at the end of Matrix:"I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't wantthem to see. I'm going to show them a world without you in control."

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of
the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals
and reptiles" (Rom 1:21-23).
2. Immorality"Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual
impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served created
things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women
exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also
abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one
another.
Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due
penalty for their perversion" (Rom 1:24-27)
3. All Kinds Of Wickedness."Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of
God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity.
They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.
They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they
invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless,
faithless, heartless, ruthless.
Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things
deserve death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve oftheose who practice them" (Rom 1:28-32).
E. GOD'S GREAT PLAN TO RESTORE
God did not give up man because of his sin. No! Instead, He put into action
another great plan - the plan to save mankind from Satan's power and to restore
him to His original plan of being His sons and sharing His Throne. He began to
prepare the world for the coming of the Savior -
Jesus.
"For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be madealive" (1 Cor 15:22). The New Testament records the
story of Christ, the One Who would come to save us
from our sins.
