THE REAL BATTLE



“…stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood…but against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” -- Ephesians 6:11-12



In this day of attack against the institution of the family by fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals, and a host of others, we can be easily deceived into thinking that the people who are the ‘mouthpieces’ of these wrongs are our enemies. This is simply not true.



Since the Garden of Eden, our real enemy has been Satan and the fallen angels he controls. His attacks on the Truth, not the individual through whom that attack comes, is the real threat.



The real battle has always been: Do we believe the words of God or not. Is the Bible “truth without any mixture of error”? Or does it contain errors? This battle always determines the fate of nations. Earlier Americans firmly believed this.



Daniel Webster, one of America’s greatest statesmen, warned us, “If religious (i.e. Christian) books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, error will be; if God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain ascendancy . . . If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the…land, anarchy and misrule…corruption and darkness will reign without…end.”



LET US PRAY that we, as Kentuckians and Americans, will return to believe the Bible as Truth; and walk out its teachings in education, government, and economy as well as in our own individual lives.
