The
place for Christian, creation, and conservative information on the web.

Satan called a worldwide convention.
In his opening address to his evil angels, he said,
"We can't keep the Christians from going to church. We can't keep them
from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth. We can't even keep them from
forming an intimate, abiding relationship experience in Christ. If they gain
that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken.
So let them go to their churches; let them have their
conservative lifestyles, but steal their time, so they can't gain that
relationship with Jesus Christ. This is what I want you to do, angels. Distract
them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection
throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" shouted his
angels. "Keep them busy in the non essentials of life and invent
innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.
"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow,
borrow, borrow. Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the
husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford
their empty lifestyles. Keep them from spending time with their children. As
their family fragments, soon, their home will offer no escape from the
pressures of work!
Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear
that still, small voice." "Entice them to play the radio or cassette
player whenever they drive. To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going
constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the
world plays non-biblical music constantly. This will jam their minds and break
that union with Christ."
"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and
newspapers. Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day. Invade their
driving moments with billboards. Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail
order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional
offering free products, services and false hopes. Keep skinny, beautiful models
on the magazines so the husbands will believe that external beauty is what's
important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives. Ha! That will
fragment those families quickly!"
"Even in their recreation, let them be agressive.
Have them return from their recreation exhausted, disquieted and unprepared for
the coming week. Don't let them go out in nature to reflect on God's wonders.
Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, concerts and movies instead.
Keep them busy, busy, busy! And when they meet for spiritual fellowship,
involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled
consciences and unsettled emotions."
"Go ahead, let them be involved in soul winning;
but crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power
from Jesus. Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their
health and family for the good of the cause. It will work! It will work!"
It was quite a convention. The evil angels went
eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get more busy and
more rushed, going here and there.

I guess the question is: Has the devil been successful
at his scheme? You be the judge!
