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.

Every mob needs an enemy. It seems like the group of “love and tolerance” has nothing but intolerance for people of faith, and the object of their hate is Christians.

The way the world disrespects the Lord comes as no surprise. What is becoming more prevalent in evangelical Christian circles is a cavalier attitude toward the first and second persons of the trinity. This attitude has no place in the life of a Christian. If we could see a veiled glimpse of God’s glory as Moses or the apostle John did, we’d loose the disrespect and fall on our faces in complete reverent worship.

I’m simply jealous for the rightful place of ‘church’ and ‘fellowship’ in Christian life because many are becoming social hubs, not places of prayer, evangelism, and discipleship.
