What is the "crowning sin" of modern Christianity? In this challenging sermon based on Jeremiah 8:5-12, we explore the dangerous trend of "holding fast to deceit" and rejecting the Word of the Lord in favor of personal opinion, government laws, or "expert" advice.

When a preacher stops preaching the Word, they are merely preaching their own opinions. But what authority does human opinion have over morality? As we see in the book of Judges, the downfall of a nation begins when "every man does that which is right in his own eyes." From the Garden of Eden to today, man has attempted to call evil good and good evil.

In this video, we discuss:

Why human sincerity is not a substitute for God's Truth.

The danger of the "Decline" (Psalm 1:1): Walking, standing, and finally sitting in ungodly counsel.

Why we cannot rely on the government, the heart, or "experts" to define morality.

The reality of hardened hearts and the refusal to blush at sin.

A call to return to the Bible as our only absolute standard.

If you have been justifying "little white lies" or following the "counsel of the ungodly" through media and culture, this message is a wake-up call to stop rushing into battle like a horse into the fray and instead return to the Lord.
