One of the most dangerous traps in life is self-deception. We are in trouble when we think more highly of ourselves than we should. We can see in someone else’s life when they are deceiving themselves. However, we do not see this in our own lives because we are blind and unaware of the genuine reality about ourselves. It is time to stop lying to ourselves. Yes, unquestionably, one of the most dangerous traps in life is self-deception. Stay tuned and inform others now. I am about to share with you in my 50th episode of this podcast about THE TRAP OF SELF-DECEPTION. Please do not miss it.

Just a quick note from our past week: Jeana and I spent three days in Orlando, Florida, for an annual conference we attend called The Mega-Metro Conference for Pastors and Wives. I have now participated in this conference for thirty-seven consecutive years. We prioritize it because God always blesses and encourages us when we gather for this event. We provided leadership for this conference in three different years during my Cross Church tenure. We are thankful to Pastor Chris Bell and his wife, Nan, who served this year by leading and designing the program for these various gatherings at the conference. Pastor Chris Bell is the Lead Pastor of the multi-campus 3 CIRCLE CHURCH based in Fairhope, Alabama.

Now, let’s get right into my podcast for this week.

While conversations about the various generations occur daily, they are usually about the younger generations, such as Generation Alpha, Born 2013-2025; Generation Z, Born 1997-2012; and, of course, the Millenials, born 1981-1996. While we must always be aware and committed to the next generations, we can never forget the others. For example, where would we be today without Generation X, Born 1965-1980 and now in their forties to late fifties? Then, we have the Baby Boomers Generation, Born 1946-1964, now in their sixties to eighties. Furthermore, what about the Silent Generation, Born in 1928-1945, now in their eighties and nineties? Finally, we cannot forget The Centenarians, people born in 1925 or earlier, and some 100,000+ of these people live in the United States.
