Its an old saying that the devils greatest weapon is disbelief. Not disbelief in God, but disbelief in Satan. Im not sure where the saying originates, but a simple look at the modern world tells us that its trueor was true. It began with that classic explanation of an entity that was really no explanation at all- I believe that theres something out there. Something on a higher level. Something that helps us when we need help. I dont believe in the traditional God, but were obviously not alone. Thats just one step away from believing only somethingand not two things. This is where Satan struck his real points. When people fail to define God as God, they fail to define good as goodand finally fail to define evil as evil. So Satan became a myth. But this was only a part of Satans brilliant strategy. Because it allowed Satan to move on to a much more sinister plan. And this is where we are now. Once people forgot about the idea of evil, they suddenly came to accept it. The definition of evil is now back with a vengeance. Not as something repulsive, but as part of a life force. As part a part of life that is useless to fight. The new doctrine is one of balance between good and evil. This gives Satan the opportunity to work without disguise. Society now tells us that our sin is only part of the balance, and that as long as we do some good works, all is well. In fact, resisting all evil would throw the balance off (and for some reason this would be bad). So while youre watching for the hidden signs of the devils work, open your eyes to the obvious trademarks. Look for the acceptance of itand do everything to avoid it. |
