The devil doesn't give a rip about your church. He has that, already. What he cares about is the preaching of the Cross. That is his torment. That was his downfall and his complete destruction. It's just a matter of time before it's over for him. You know what's taking so long? God's patience. He's not willing that any should perish. He has given the Church the Body of Christ a commission to preach. The reconciliation of God and man through the finished work of Christ. 2 Cor. 5:14-21. And He is awaiting the last person to believe and be made part of the Body. Every day He gives us is another day to give someone the gospel of their salvation. But it won't last forever.
Your church figures in no way in this, except for the fact of the apostacy and the future of her. He is not saving groups, or institutions, or nations. He is saving individuals right now. Whosoever believes.

And its end will be rather fiery and dramatic.

The devil doesn't give a rip about your church. He has that, already. I hope none of you people sell used cars. A revolting personality isn't going to convert anyone. But it is interesting that you think you know the devil's thoughts.
