Calvary Pursuit: Distraction and Deception
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Getting distracted is easy and being deceived can be just as easy if you are unsuspecting. Shane and Gary talk about how we are able to betaken off the path God has for us with diversions or voices with bad intent in the sweetest words. Our hearts and minds have to be aware at all times if we want to keep our focus on the things of God.
