Steve Horn cites tactics of the tempter in sermon at Louisiana College

April 4, 2017

By Norm Miller, LC News

PINEVILLE – Steve Horn – pastor of First Baptist Church in Lafayette and Louisiana College trustee – shared insights regarding the Fall of Man as he preached from Genesis chapter 3 during the college’s March 30th chapel service.

“Satan’s strategy and tactics are the same in 2017 as they were in Genesis chapter three,” Horn said.

Tracing the pattern of temptation in the Garden of Eden, Horn noted that doubt about God’s Word came first.

“Satan puts question marks where God puts periods,” he said.

That is followed by Satan’s deceit, human desire and a decision to disobey God.

Then comes defeat and the denial of one’s spiritual condition.

“The Fall establishes the fact that sin has a penalty,” the former Louisiana Baptist Convention president said.

The good news, Horn said, is “God does not desire to punish, but to pardon. Where there is sin, there is always grace.”

And where there is grace, there is a “point of choice. God’s extension of grace provides the choice.”

Horn concluded with an invitation for those who did not know Christ to commit their lives to him, and for believers who felt estranged from God because of sin to repent and return.
