Reminds of this....
“What would things look like if Satan really took control of a city? Over a half century ago, Presbyterian minister Donald Grey Barnhouse offered his own scenario in his weekly sermon that was also broadcast nationwide on CBS radio. Barnhouse speculated that if Satan took over Philadelphia, all of the bars would be closed, pornography banished, and pristine streets would be filled with tidy pedestrians who smiled at each other. There would be no swearing. The children would say, “Yes, sir” and “No, ma’am,” and the churches would be full every Sunday . . . where Christ is not preached.”
I was thinking that earlier.
Amen! Satan wants a godless united utopia where all men bow to him!
....”the churches would be full every Sunday . . . where Christ is not preached.”
Many are just that today....Jesus has become a “footnote” for many. Osteen is one of them...and based on his own words that he’s a ‘motivational speaker’ and his work is a “family business”, he still has not stopped calling himself a preacher and his organization a church.
Your post on what Barnhouse stated... reminds me a bit of the “Screw tape letters”....satan always works in way’s that appear to be good or in half truths......
