Oh man! It does look

The World—God 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 Flesh—God 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 Devil—Once 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.
