Though it might not be easy to see, because it isn’t a physical battle, we are most certainly at war. Ephesians 6:10-12 outlines the spiritual battle that we’re engaged in against spiritual forces of wickedness. Satan’s primary tactic has not changed. He seeks to get us to believe that God is against our happiness so that we do not trust and obey God. It’s a propaganda war of truth and ideas because who you trust and believe will dictate who you stand with and who you stand against. We see that unfolding in our world today as the things God declares are good are demonized and the things God calls sin are rationalized, normalized, embraced and even celebrated. How does a society get to that place and how do we as Christians survive it? Jesus lays it all out for us in Matthew 24:9-14.
