When it’s Not so Obvious

MELISSA GABLER—These demon doctrines are taught through so many avenues that you don’t have to be looking for darkness for darkness to find you. These doctrines make their way into schools, government, entertainment, social media, even church. Witchcraft, new age, dark arts, occult are recognizable demon doctrines when they are coming through those that are obviously into these things but it’s not so obvious when it’s in a Christian. It’s harder to spot in a Christian because it’s a mixture of truth and lies and our enemy is very good at twisting those two together. See, when we embrace this stuff it causes a mixture in us. Then the way we live our lives is completely affected by this mixture. If our enemy can get us to embrace these evil teachings, which is done in the most subtle of ways, then he can control or destroy us.

Duty to Country as Duty to God

VotingBooths“The Church must take right ground in regard to politics… The time has come that Christians must vote for honest men, and take consistent ground in politics,… or the country will be ruined. God cannot sustain this free and blessed country, which we love and pray for, unless the Church will take right ground. Politics are a part of a religion in such a country as this, and Christians must do their duty to the country as a part of their duty to God… He will bless or curse this nation, according to the course they [Christians] take [in politics].” (“Lectures on Revival”, Charles Finney, 1835)
