The Devil’s Meeting



The devil sat down to have a meeting with his top advisors. He said to them, “America has been known as a Christian nation for far too long. We need to employee a new strategy against them to bring   them down and make them repulsive in the eyes of God.”

One of his advisors spoke up saying, “We could flood America with great temptations for immorality. Once they start going after the lusts of the flesh, they will surely be downgraded before the world and repulsive to God.”

The devil responded, “We have tried this. America has been on a moral decline for decades. Homes have been broken, they do not trust one another, and their love for God has been greatly reduced. Despite this, there are still far too many Christians. We need a new approach.”

Another spoke up and said, “We could convince them that God does not exist. We’ll make up some other explanation for the origin of the earth. Once, they are convinced of this, we will make them believe that they are their own gods.”

The devil again responded, “Darwin has served us well. He has convinced many that they were not created, but rather they have evolved. Many have turned their backs on God. However, there are still too many that have kept their faith in God. What else can we do?”

A third advisor said, “I know what to do. Let us give them a progressive new knowledge. No longer will human beings be limited by their biology. No, my friends, we will cause them to believe that they can change anything about their bodies, simply by changing their perception.”

Another said, “That is sheer nonsense! Christians will defeat that just by speaking against it.”

“We will silence those Christians easily. When they speak against homosexuality and transgenders, we will label them as ‘haters’ and we will call their arguments, ‘hate speech’.

So, let us convince them that they have been living under the sleepy delusion of God’s commandments. Let us help them to see that the bible is not only outdated, but destructive to the intellectual growth of human beings. Let us help them to realize that they are the ones with their eyes now opened. We will own their souls for we will have them convinced that they are now ‘Woke’.”

9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

God Bless each of you,

Taking Time to Pray

  We have all had those busy mornings where we rush around trying to get out the door. We scrabble frantically trying to gather everything we know we are going to need for the day. We fly out the door only to remember that the cell phone is still on the dresser. If we are honest with ourselves, we know that we will turn around, go back inside to retrieve our cell phone no matter how late we may be running. While this is all well and good, the question arises, what if we run out the door and remember we had not yet prayed to our heavenly Father. What would be our response. Would we stop dead in our tracks and offer a prayer before God, or continue in moving toward our daily pursuits with the intention of praying when we have more time? Our great example of a prayer life is Christ. He too had a busy schedule to maintain. Mark records, “And He said to them, ‘Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.’ For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have

Walk Worthy

  The Christian life has been compared to a variety of things. One in particular is that of a walk. A walk in the context of the Christian faith involves the way we live and conduct ourselves throughout our lives. The manor in which we live will either reflect Christ or it will reflect the ways of the world. Paul wrote, “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called” (Ephesians 4:1). There are a multitude of ways we must walk to be pleasing unto the Lord. We will consider a few. Bearing with one another. Walking worthy before the Lord strongly involves our conduct with one another. Paul continued, “ with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love” (Ephesians 4:2). Bearing with one another is not possible apart from a humble mindset. It is the humble mindset that keeps us from thinking too highly of ourselves. It also enables us to focus on the needs of others rather than our

Take Careful Aim

       In the book of Proverbs, we read that where there is no vision the people perish. Vision is an absolute necessity if one is to accomplish anything worthwhile in life. Without vision, there is no goal. Without a goal, there is no purpose. Having a vision for the future is like having a target you do not intend to miss. Like a marksman taking careful aim at his target, we too must take careful aim if we are to accomplish great things for the Lord. There are various goals we should take careful aim at. One is increasing our relationships with one another. The only way this can be accomplished is through effective communication with each other. We can do this in a variety of ways including phone calls, personal visits, and through the positive side of social media. Equally, we grow in our relationship with one another through worshipping God together. The Hebrew writer stated, “…not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one anoth
