FYI - some of the links in the “Hearts Up” editions are disabled. Also, most of the references to various pages in the Keys website still exist, but under a different name – a few don’t, simply because we decided to eliminate them when we recently streamlined the Keys website.
All “Hearts Up” editions are 400-800 KB (<1 MB): download 'em, print 'em, email 'em, and use 'em on your own or with your small group, but please share the whole edition - don't cut into parts.

Personal UNtruth
- See also "Patterns" or "Satan's attacks" (While the concept of a "Personal UNtruth" deals with how Satan attacks us, "Hearts Up" articles typically refer simply to the fact that Satan attacks us; this is for the benefit of those who have not read Feelings 101.)
- June 2011, Spiritual Warfare Combat Tips (The article looks at how real-life trials involve a spiritual identity crisis. The term Personal UNtruth isn't specifically mentioned, but the diagram and article speak to directly to it in terms of Satan's lies and attacks on us.)
- May 2011, The Bible's Bigger Pictures, pg. 8-11 (This section of the article looks at how God's own nature relates to the godly sense of identity we can experience. It looks at how the names of God relate to the truth of who we are in Him. When Satan attacks, he turns those truths in to lies, i.e. personal UNtruth.)
