The ‘entertainment’ model of church was largely adopted in the 1980s and '90s, and while it alleviated some of our boredom for a couple of hours a week, it filled our churches with self- focused consumers rather than self-sacrificing servants attuned to the Holy Spirit.” Francis Chan, Forgotten God

21. “When Satan lies, his arguments are very persuasive. He bases each one on your actual life experience and states it in terms you will find most appealing. All of them usually contain some truth or at least possible truth, …But the net result of each lie is to move you away from God, away from the people of God, away from total commitment to God, and away from serving God. Each satanic lie argues that it is both reasonable and balanced to live your life for yourself. The mental battle with him is rarely a single encounter but rather a day-in, day-out, wearying dialogue that tends to break us down….He will relentlessly pursue any opening…complete destruction is his goal.” Dennis McCallum “When Satan lies, his arguments are very persuasive.
