Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
These words from the pen of the apostle Paul stand as a clarion call to all believers to stand firmly in the truth and to demolish every thing that offers itself as a pretense against the truth of God.
Leave it to Satan to empower a little-known author whose modest book sales thrust him to national prominence. Philip Pullman wrote a trilogy of books entitled His Dark Materials. The first of these books was made into a major motion picture called “The Golden Compass.”
Pullman, a self-proclaimed “agnostic and atheist,” said of his books, “My books are about killing God; trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief.”
He has taken what some describe as the “least offensive “ of the three books and produced it as a movie in an effort to indoctrinate children to atheism. The thought is that if parents can see a simple entertaining movie with their children maybe they won’t be offended by the overt anti-Christian message.
Satan works as an angel of light and lures people into his trap. But Paul says in 2 Corinthians 2:12 that “we are not unaware of his schemes.” Don’t play with Satan—or you’ll get burned. Knowing the truth of God’s Word will prepare you to defend your faith, and a strong defense of the truth of Scripture will protect your family and loved ones. Only through God’s Word can we recognize Satan’s schemes. That is why God wrote His Word, so we could be alert to Satan’s attacks against truth. That’s why this we’re here…..
