Duped No More

Don't confuse the blessing of God with the craft of Satan.

How many times have we heard somebody thank God for something that was clearly, straight out of a pit in hell? Here are several clear examples: acceptance speeches by entertainers; political addresses; ordination rites for homosexuals.

At the same time, there may be more wily ways that we are missing the craft of Satan by thinking it's the blessing of God. Look what's happened to the family and church. Our country has no shortages of churches, but we don't see Titus 2 lived out. Parents praise an active youth ministry, but don't disciple their own children. We enjoy contemporary worship music and yet we wonder why the world is in the church. Hmmm.

Count your blessings one by one, but just make sure you're paying attention.
