To cite Sir Alex, "Now -- there's a name I've not heard in a long, long time..."

One can only wonder how the homosexuals, the pro-abortionist and the free condom crowd would react if they were ever confronted by their real Leader -- in all his sulfurous, evil glory...
It's a true pity that even those who occupy even the most powerful and conservative of church pulpits seem fearful to utter his name nowadays -- or, even, acknowledge that he exists. But, then, that shouldn't surprise us, since they also seem to avoid all mention of the results of his handiwork -- sin -- as if the mere mention of it would instantly empty their revenue-producing pews.
Satan is "alive and well on Planet Earth" -- and, from all current appearances, he is well along on the path to victory...

Oh, well, at least my tagline agrees with me... '-)
Dear brother in Christ, as you know Satan's greatest triumph consists in convincing people that he does not exist.
But he does. He tempts us to sin for he knows that will divide us from Christ — Who is Logos Alpha to Omega, our Savior and final Judge.
He is the jealous, implacable enemy of mankind. He seeks the destruction of souls. And judging from the present state of affairs in our culture, he is awesomely good at it.
The second great lie he tells is that there is no such thing as sin. And yet the entire Creation is groaning under its weight....
Pusillanimous pastors take note: Is revenue more important than saving souls? Isn't that the Church's job? If so, you'd better be talking about SIN from your pulpits. "Cafeteria Christians" might not like it; but faithful Christians will.
Thank you so much for writing, dear TXnMA — and for your very kind words.
The former pastor of my church recently did the opening remarks for an all-city church prayer meeting. He is someone who doesn’t shy away from calling a sin a sin and presenting the all but forgotten concept of personal holiness to Christians. Was somewhat sad and amusing to see the reaction he got.
