Review the 3 Dangers

• The WorldGod made the world and called it very
  good (Genesis ch. 1). However, when I turn to
  things of the world as a substitute for God, I
  misuse it and ruin myself.
• The FleshGod made my body to be good, to be used
  in the ways He intended. When I turn away from
  God, I misuse my body, degrading myself
  physically and spiritually.
• The DevilOnce the highest ranking angel in
  heaven, Satan turned away from God, rebelled
  against him, all because he wanted to be God
  instead. He is the original liar who seeks to
  turn all of creation away from God.
