Topic: HAVE YOU BEEN CHEATED? AIM: To call attention to the 3 BIG CHEATS that will keep many out from the Kingdom of God. INTRO. To be cheated on is not a good thing. No one would want to be cheated on or be called a cheater. We Christian may be in danger of being cheated on if we do not take the 3 big cheats seriously. It just might be the only thing that will hold you from receiving salvation and being part of the kingdom of God. In this sermon, with the help of the Holy Spirit I would like to call your attention to the 3 DEADLY CHEATS that will keep many out of the kingdom of god. BODY. 1. “No Danger” We find in Genesis 19: 14, the story of Lot and his family just before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorra. Lot had warned his sons in laws about what was going to happen to the city they were in but, they just ignored him and thought that he was joking. They must have thought that this was something impossible, there is no danger really .In fact, his sons in laws laughed and made a fool of …show more content…
The story of the rich farmer in Luke: 12:16-18 is a good example of this deadly cheat. We are all familiar with how the story goes. Question is what was the farmers’ mistake? His mistake was he thought that there was plenty of time for him to work for his own good without God’s leadership, God was left for later because there’s “plenty of time”. There is always an increase in the number of road accidents every year because thousands of people get cheated out of their lives by thinking that there is plenty of time for them to cross the road before the next car or drivers thinking they can take pass before the next car gets there. Genesis: 19:26 explains how Lots wife was cheated out of her life into thinking she had plenty of time to just look back one last time at her home town. We do not have plenty of time to get right with the Lord. It just never pays to put the most important duty in life
When Professor John Doe assigned this reading assignment, I had really no idea what academic book would appeal to me. I definitely wanted to choose a book that would impact me in the long run and that I would benefit from. When I told my brother about the book, he said that he was just finishing a book called “The Cheating Culture, Why More Americans Are Doing More To Get Ahead” by, David Callahan. When he quickly explained what the book was about I knew that was the book I was going to read. I figured that this would be a good choice, because everywhere you look these days you see cheating. This book was published back in 2004 so even though it is a decade old, I do believe that many of the examples in the book are still problems, if not, even worse today than they were a decade ago. Weather it is kids in school, athletes, or the average business man. Everyone is cheating and trying to cut corners to get ahead. Nearly everyone has cheated in their life rather you would want to admit it or not. Reading this book, I was hoping to learn exactly why so many people try to cheat, and what alternatives people could take to prevent from cheating.
“For every clever person who goes to the trouble of creating an incentive scheme, there is an army of people, clever and otherwise, who will inevitably spend even more time trying to beat it. Cheating may or may not be human nature, but it is certainly a prominent feature in just about every human endeavor. Cheating is a primordial economic act: getting more or less” (21). This quote is important because it proves how everyone has cheated once. In many cases it is true, people often cheat on tests or even on their diet. Not everyone can live up to their expectations. Some may justify it, others proudly proclaim it, and others will try denying their cheating vigorously. Most people consider cheating as a bad and unwise action. In this novel, it gave two examples of cheaters, school teachers and sumo wrestlers. It shows how both authors can take two different people and still find something similar with both of them, like cheating.
Anyone and everyone knows not to cheat, it’s just not right. But in modern day it is quite often that students or people in general are tempted to cheat. Whether it is from a test to marriage humans are constantly being tempted to cheat. Some give in to the temptation and some don’t. This essay is mainly focused on the people who have cheated and give into temptation.

Can’t Cheat the Cheater: Consequences of Cheating. It was Danial’s birthday and Angela planned to surprise him. Angela bought some flowers and cake, then secretly went to her house. What she found was unbelievable: Danial was already married and also had two kids.
In the past, being caught cheating was a source of great shame, but now expected. There are few things that make me as angry as cheating. I, and many others, put so much effort into doing something the right way, and along comes someone who could be good – perhaps not great, but good – and they shoot some drugs into their body, pay someone to write a paper, or claim a dead relative on their taxes as a dependent. For every cheater who comes out on top there are more who tried to do the right thing and miss out on scholarships, sponsors, and that one coveted slot at the Olympic
Cheating is the social issue identified in “The Kugelmass Episode”, by Alan Konisberg. Cheating is defined as infidelity, emotional affair and adultery(Meyer). Cheating may be carried out in many ways in our current era of living. With social media and many new forms of communication cheating may be very easily executed.
Admittedly, I have read these passages numerous times and yet the study that I undertook for this assignment, has put me in an awkward place of having to chose the “right thing”. Paul wrestled with a similar conundrum and said the, “For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate… For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out” (Romans 7:15 & 18b, English Standard Version).
Adultery is a horrible sin to commit, but it can actually be avoided, although many people in today's society respond differently based on their religion and culture. When a person commits adultery they fail in keeping his/her commitment to their partner. When adultery happens the trust is broken in the relationship and the other person will feel deceived and betrayed.

People say cheating has so many forms, but the worst one would be cheating in a relationship. A cheater is someone who cheats on his partner; someone who systematically betrays his partner either on a physical or emotional level. About a week ago I thought cheating was okay,but now I realize the harm it could cause to their significant other. True love doesn’t hurt, true love protects, and cares. Cheating can cause someone to have a mental break down, and leads to a complete loss of respect. When it comes to relationships, remaining faithful is never an option; loyalty is everything.
The advent of the cell phone and internet has offered ways of cheating that as little as ten years would have been unimaginable. Technology is on the rise, and most people don’t know the real capabilities of the new technological advances. The younger generation has been brought up
Cheating can set a pattern that can lead to a practice of lying that may involve more serious matters. In the first place, the harmlessness of cheating is notoriously disputable. What the cheater perceives as harmless or even beneficial may not be so in the eyes of the deceived.
Cheating in relationships happen to both men and women, and for many varied reasons. The reasons of cheating on someone may however, change based off the person’s gender. To simply state, the reason a man cheats may be different than the reason a woman cheats in a relationship. There have been facts and as well as myths surrounding the topic of infidelity. Also, one person may have a different view on what is cheating, where on the other hand, another person may think cheating is the complete opposite. With this, there is not a full and official definition of cheating in a relationship, so this can make it difficult to actually know what exactly is or what is not cheating. I have been told what is cheating by one person, and later on would
