If Satan had a resume, it would consist of three words: Steal, Kill, and Destroy. He destroys everything, including families, marriages, ministries, testimonies, lives, and souls. The problem is that, as people, we think we can manage our sins, like we can have them under control, instead of them controlling us.

We do need to understand that when we gather in the body in Christ, this is the Lord’s opportunity to do spiritual business with his people. This, the church, should be a scary yet amazingly exciting place to be. We need to discover perhaps a much higher faith-filled expectation for the gathered body of Christ than perhaps we have at present.

The cultists, including the Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and others, go out and are incredibly bold while deceiving and being deceived into the lies that will ultimately lead people to an eternity in hell. We have the truth, and that should give us a biblical sense of urgency to reach out to people that Jesus loves.

Jesus said one of the signs of the end times is the love of many growing cold. We are rapidly approaching a time when brothers and sisters in the Lord will offend, betray, and hate one another. This is a call for true unity and genuine love among believers when love grows cold.

I cannot get my mind wrapped around Christians today who think this life, this earth, and this daily existence is the pinnacle of joy.

Many people have a sort of hierarchy of sins taken from a list curated by society over the centuries. There are even some sincere Christians who have a sliding scale of sin severity based on wisdom and traditions of men. The Bible cuts through the clutter of human opinion. It explains precisely what the unforgivable sin is and how to deal with it because ignoring it has eternally tragic consequences.
