Satan is Alive and Well

What has happened to our community? Our region? Our state? Our nation? How did we go from the Bible being read in school, public prayer in school, and the pledge of allegiance in school to this?

These evils did not occur over night, but were (and are) sly, carefully crafted plans by Satan to 

destroy us. Evolution is taught as fact, alternate lifestyles are promoted, tolerance demanded 

(except towards God and the Bible), and abortion is taught as a means of birth control. Is it any wonder teen suicides are rising, depression is rampant, and many young people express a sense of hopelessness?

What can we as Christians do? We need to discover what is going on in our children’s schools and demand necessary changes if warranted. If the school refuses our requests, we need to take it up with the school board. If no results, we may want to consider private Christian schools, home-schooling, or virtual learning as alternatives. Our children are worth it.

We need to pray everyday for our young people and our nation. We need to vote for candidates who do not support abortion, same-sex unions, and evolution. We need to be teaching our young people right from wrong, to love God, and to stay true to His word. We need to write or telephone our elected officials and let them know our concerns. Above all else, we need to stand as “children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life” (Philippians 2:15b,16a).

Please do not despair but rise and do battle with Satan and his evil forces by wearing the full armor of God and using the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:10-18). May God be with us in this epic struggle between good and evil; between God and Satan.

Stay true to the Word, 

Brother Travis
