THE DECEPTION OF P L E A S U R EA. Pleasure offers life b u t brings death. Proverbs 14:12 – “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”B. The flesh c r a v e s indulgence. 1 John 2:15–17 – “Love not the world... the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.”C. Many today are entertained to death.They live f o r excitement, fashion, lust, and self—but have no life in Christ.“Pleasure is the world’s s u b s t i t u t e for joy; but it leaves a man empty.”“She lives in pleasure, as if this world were her all, but her soul is d e a d toward God.”
