The devil is against everything that God loves. He hates believers, families, babies, toddlers and everything else in between.
He especially hates truth and righteousness!
If he can destroy a family through greed and selfishness, then he can effectively destroy the country.
And, here we are! More than half the families in our country and our churches have been torn asunder by narcissistic self worshipers just to be number one in their own hearts.
When we break down all sense of righteousness God's way in any culture, that is the death nil for any civilization. I no longer think of us as a civilized country any more, sophisticated perhaps but not civilized, crude yes, lacking manners and kindness, yes, but no longer civilized.
Narcissism is growing exponentially through one simple tactic, that is the teaching of self esteem in the schools, then it was adopted by the churches and seminaries, thus, here we are with a mess and the tactic that was used to get us here is still being taught, perhaps even more vigorously than it ever was before.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
"3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."
Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Working Hard to Resist Sin?
How do we get rid of the sin in our lives after being born again. Don't worry about it, you will no longer want it.
One does not have to "turn away",or "trying real hard" not to do what they would like to do, actually, we lose the desire to do these things, they are distasteful to us that's why they drop off. We may go one more time after being born again, but it feels so bad and wrong that we don't keep doing it. We are changed when we are born again, all the old desires leave us and are replaced with knew desires for righteousness.
If someones desire to sin is not gone, they still enjoy it, then they never became born again.
2 Corinthians 5:16-18 "…16 So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:…"
