While we were in London, we did a lot of walking. In fact, walking became our primary mode of transportation. But one evening we decided to give our feet a break and take an Uber to a theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We chose a comedy called “The Play That Goes Wrong”.
And did it ever!
We laughed so hard we thought we might fall out of our seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it wasn’t the theater that inspired today’s blog. It was the marquee next door advertising “The Devil Wears Prada”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That title stayed with me. Because these days, the devil seems to be wearing a lot more than Prada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14). He rarely shows up looking dangerous. More often, he appears attractive, harmless, and even helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of us have watched friends, family members, and even some churches drift away from biblical truth toward a spirituality that feels more comfortable, more fashionable, and more accepting of whatever we want to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little astrology.
A few tarot cards.
Some crystals.
A touch of “manifesting.”
A dash of “follow your own truth.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It all seems innocent enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all, Adam and Eve weren’t hanging around a witch festival. They were standing in a beautiful garden created by God when the enemy quietly questioned God’s Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s still his strategy today.
Not loud deception.
Subtle deception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peter warned us: “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news is that God has not left us defenseless.
He has given us His Word, His Spirit, and His promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Apostle Paul warned Timothy “a time will come when people will turn from truth and wander into myths.” (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
Yet in the same passage, he declared that the Lord stood by him and strengthened him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same Lord stands by us today.
So let’s keep our eyes wide open.
Let’s stay grounded in Scripture.
Let’s test every message against God’s truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And let’s remember that while darkness may seem fashionable for a season, Jesus Christ is still King AND the LIGHT of the world.
Thanks be to God!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
