Let's open our Bibles to Luke 22:1-6.

1. Satan uses religion more than any other tool to keep men in his domain of darkness.

2. People can even profess and belong to true religion and yet be in league with Satan.

3. At the core of evil religion are three things:

--lack of genuine conversion

--the rejection of Jesus as Lord

--the promotion of selfish desires under the guise of religious commitment

4. Evil religion brings initial happiness and gain, but final ruin.
