The outcome of a contest often comes down to who wants it more. As a result, nothing makes our spiritual enemy happier than when we take matters of faith and eternity lightly. While we think it’s all fun and games, he’s playing for keeps. Thankfully we have a God who takes this battle just as seriously and who is far stronger than our foe. This week we see how the enemy often disguises his work behind what appears to be good. The devil is perfectly happy to have a world full of outwardly good people who have nothing to do with Christ and his forgiveness. We need to be reminded that the battle between good and evil - and our personal struggle in that battle - are much more than surface deep.
