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.

Love for Jesus and other people is the motive for meeting desperate needs. As believers, we can’t simply look away, ignore needs, or say ‘be filled.’ We need to show people the love of Jesus while we still have time left to do so.

Hell is not a popular subject, but it’s one that demands our attention. Unfortunately, it is a subject rarely discussed in churches today. That is a shame…given the eternal consequences and the reality of hell.

There is a day coming when commerce and worship will be intrinsically linked. It will be a time when buying or selling requires worship.
