Blog Entry: Where is satan? He is every where! How do we find him? He finds us! Where is God? He is every where! How do we find Him? He created us!!!!! What is the point of this blog entry? It is meant to show what God and satan have in common. This may or may not get some people thinking but God and satan do have something in common. What is it? It is US! God wants us to have an eternity with Him and so does satan. So they both want our hearts and souls. One for good and the other for not so good. In order to love God you must believe in the Holy Bible with all your heart. It is what's known as FAITH. The Bible contains all the information we need to live our lives and to love our God. For many years I have seen many books, music, and movies that have tried to "twist" the truth. Some people have even said that these types of media are promoting satan or that they are the works of the devil. It reminds me of the movie "Footloose". There is a part in that movie where the people of the town are outside the library burning books. When the preacher arrives he asked what they are doing. And the he made a very good statement, "satan is not in these books". Now some books and movies may seem like the work of satan. But how do we know that they are not the work of God? Just like God, satan can only exist in your heart. And when we want to keep other Christians informed of these grossly misleading books or movies, we must be very careful not to promote them. This can be very harmful for new Christians. With their lack of knowledge they will try to seek truths. And these are our brothers and sisters that can easily swayed the wrong way. Other than the Bible there is no book written or movie made that contains God. He is in heart or He is not. I support and love everyone that loves God. One of the biggest fears I have as a pastor is making sure that I do not judge people. Likewise I am very careful not to condemn them. For those that are lost, I will always pray for them. God is in charge. I am a firm believer that God will only allow things to happen that he wants to happen. So when certain events occur, I tried to see how this has fit into God's plan. For example, the 9/11 attacks. At the snap of His fingers God could have stopped it. But what was accomplished after these attacks? Churches around the world were over flowing. Praying and worshipping God. All part of HIS plan. No matter what satan tries to tempt us with, God always gives us an out. Likewise, with these books, music, and movies, once we know they do not glorify God then yes we should avoid them. But can we as Christians, not learn from them. As Christians we know the Bible, we know the truth. Learn the Bible and keep all other media in it's context. Whether it be Christian or secular. Let us keep our hearts on God and pray each day for those that are lost and so that we may not become lost. We ALL have a duty as Christians to teach the truth. And here may be the strange part to some that read this, know satan. Learn who satan is and how he operates so that you will know how to fight him. In closing it is my prayer that the Grace of God be upon all of you. Pastor Jeff
