TW 402 from PFHL Course 410-- Deceit and Deception

(by Bill Stevenson)
Note: On April 11, 1985, circumstances and the Holy Spirit influenced me to do this paper. Earlier, my
employer used my children in a deceitful way for advertising while I was at home healing from
an accident to my leg. Another curriculum writer pretended to be their father in the add for
after a school tutoring help proposed business. I believe that the Holy Spirit guided me in
selection the key verses and the order in which I typed them for this paper. Deceit is a problem
everywhere, in worldly businesses, our families, and all types of ministries. Don't just relate
what you read here to other individuals; let God point out ways you have used deceit and desire
to make immediate changes in your social habits.
