[BCW]

People need to realize that there is a larger batle going on here...they need to realize that distractions are ever present that slowly slip us away from the truth - away from the Savior, Our Lord, Jesus Christ. They need to stop and observe what is going on in and around their lives. I’m not saying give up on the US life style - but be aware of the sources of distraction that creates a separation between us and God. Evil doesn’t have to be ugly and dark - it comes in many forms...

Bears repeating

For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.

Evil doesn’t have to be ugly and dark - it comes in many forms...

True, it's many times bright and shiny, so we're easily attracted to it.
