If I were the devil, I would wage warfare against church leaders. I’d be relentless in my attack with evil spirits of depression and despair, anger and bitterness, jealousy and lust, deceit and pride. If such things bled over into the congregation at large, so be it.
If I were the devil, I would attack families in every way, shape and form. I'd distract husbands from loving their wives and wives from respecting their husbands. I'd prevent fathers from fulfilling their responsibility in raising their kids. I'd plant seeds of frustration and resentment in moms head and heart. I'd promote individualism in the heads of children, making them believe they don't need others. I'd attack God's formula for marriage of one man, one woman, for one lifetime. I would NOT touch the spirituality of husbands and fathers because well, if it's already broke...
If I were the devil, I would get you to believe that faith is strictly a private matter - just between you and God. I'd craftily and methodically remove God and references to faith from government, schools, prisons, hospitals, and all public life, for that matter.
If I were the devil, I would convince mankind that we evolved without a Creator. I'd blur the line between right and wrong with situational ethics and relativism, all in the guise of becoming a more free, more loving, and more tolerant people.
If I were the devil, I suppose I would do just what the devil is doing now.
Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. ~Ephesians 6:11
