Satan is working diligently in our world

Re: "The nonexistent, evil chick called Easter"

Joe,

As with Richard Rives, you have raised a great point. The majority of the Christian world worships false gods. But each one of one has failed to bring to the surface the question why.

Until the Christian world acknowledges and faces the reality that Satan, the devil, exists, he will, as the Book of Revelation states, "deceive the whole world." Until the human mind can willfully extract itself from the clutches of this evil, or until Jesus Christ returns and cages this evil for a millennium, mankind will continue down this path.

I rarely see an article about how Satan is working diligently in our world, how crime is rampant and growing worse, how greed on Wall Street and in the family home is rampant and growing worse, how world powers cannot get along and create wars and threats. Who is behind this? Satan and his minions.

Just pointing out the history of evil does not get humans to react, as the human heart has a natural evil bias against the Godhead. Only through God, baptism and the laying on of hands to receive the Holy Spirit can you combat this evil.

God continue to bless your work. You remind me of times of the lamentations of Jeremiah, one of my favorite prophets of God. God had him out there saying things all the time that folks around him would ridicule him and cast him out. Jesus told us to hold onto the faith, even as you see death and destruction coming for those that stay true to the end will be saved.

Jeremiah 5:31 tells the whole story of mankind:

"The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?"
