(By Brandon D. Smith) Blockbuster superhero movies and the latest iteration of the Star Wars movie franchise show the power of a good story. Grown men and young children alike dress up in costumes, stand in line for hours and spend $62 on a bucket of popcorn just to watch larger-than-life heroes do the unthinkable. People are riveted by a good story that seems otherworldly, and they’re willing to scrounge up the money and time to invest if they’re convinced they’ll enjoy it.
In my work with the Christian Standard Bible, I came across research from the Barna Group stating that people don’t read the Bible for a few reasons but primarily because they don’t have enough time or struggle to relate to the language. The stats showed that 88 percent of American households own a Bible, but only 37 percent of people read it once a week or more. No doubt their frustration with trying to understand words, phrases and concepts in Scripture is a reasonable frustration. However, as most preachers have told their congregations, people have plenty of time to read, but they simply don’t want to make the time. READ MORE
Satan is a pig, wish none of us had to ever encounter all of the disgusting filthy evilness this arrogant enemy of God produces. Just so you know satan, you will be destroyed by God.
How is it satan gets blamed for everthing? What happened to being responsible FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS. IT DOES SAY EACH WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD.
DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR!!
Own YOYR OWN SINS..AND STOP BLAMING EVERYTHING ON SATAN AND THE DEMONS..THE DEVILS.
IT IS YOUR OWN BLACK HEARTS FILLED WITH UGLIES THAT CAUSE YOU TO SIN..NOT satan. And DIFINAYTE TO GOD’S COMMANDMENTS. THE MARK OF THE BEAST THAT MANY ALREADY HAVE BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT SEE IT IS THEM PRAYING TO FALSE GODS BECAUSE most everyone is doing that and believe LIES RATHER THAN TRUTH.
WAKE UP OR YOU KILL YOURSELF BY DYING IN YOUR SINS. BLAME YOURSELF NOT satan as I can tell you that will NOT WORK when standing before THE ONLY GOD AND SAVIOUR..and he is not “jesus, christ jesus, lord jesus, LORD, Lord, lord, christ, a ghost, a fat budda, a skinny budda, jehovah Immanuel, shilo, nor ALL OTHER NAMES…HE IS MY FATHER..THE ONLY ONE WHO IS TO BE CALLED FATHER, AND HE IS THE CREATOR MAJESTIC GOD ALMIGHTY OF ALL THE UNIVERSES, GALAXIES, HEAVENS AND EVERYTHING BUT THE VERY BIG MESS CAUSED BY MANY WHO REFUSE TO SEE TRUTH..BELIEVE LIES AND FEED LIES THUS HAVE THE “MARK OF THE BEAST”!
Wake up people..”man does libve on brwad alone BUT EVERY WORD OF GOD” all everyone wants is the blood, crosses, rapture, blaming satan and devils, believing in ghosts, giving glory to a bunxh of false gods and beleving in lies REFUSING TO UNDERSTAND AND OBEY COMMANDS.
blame it on satan and the demins..which is WRONG! IT WILL NOT WORK WHEN STANDING BEFORE MY FATHER. ALL ARE OBVIOUS TO WHO IS SLOW TO ANGER AND LONG SUFFERING..WHY IS HE SO LONG SUFFERING..WHY DOES HE HURT SO AND HOW LONG HAS HE HURTS? WHO TALKS ABOUT THIS..WHO HAS A CLUE..WHO CARES? I do and most if not all the fallen ones now care. But man..mortal man..does not see or hear.
