I Take My Responsibilities Incredibly Seriously
by Phil Sanders
"If war is forced upon us -- and I say "forced
upon us," because use of the military is not my
first choice. I hug the mothers and the widows of
those who may have lost their life in the name of
peace and freedom. I take my responsibilities
incredibly seriously about the commitment of
troops. But should we need to use troops, for the
sake of future generations of Americans, American
troops will act in the honorable traditions of our
military and in the highest moral traditions of
our country." --President G. W. Bush
As our country faces war, it is comforting to know
that our President takes his job so seriously.
There is also going on right now a war against
Satan (Eph. 6:10-13). I hope we take that war just
as seriously.
Peter reminds us, “Beloved, I urge you as aliens
and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts, which
wage war against the soul” (1 Pet. 2:11).
Wars are not battles but series of battles, fought
until one side completely conquers the other.
Satan knows how to tempt and tempt again.
In Luke 4:13, after Satan had tempted Jesus, the
Bible says, “And when the devil had finished every
temptation, he departed from Him until an
opportune time.”
The devil didn’t quit because he lost this round;
he went away to plan for another day. Beware of
Satan! He may show up when you least expect him.
