SATAN AND THE SAINTS

By Pastor Art Watkins of Coden Bible Church (Coden, Alabama)

January 1, 2011

There are many Christians who live in a religious dream world. They imagine that because they are saved and belong to the Lord, the devil can't touch them. There are certain Christians who the devil does not touch or bother. The devil doesn't bother a sleeping saint, he just lets them sleep. He doesn't bother a lazy saint, he lets them relax. He doesn't bother a saint who attempts to do nothing for Christ sake; he leaves them alone in their idleness. But he works night and day against Christians who are trying to serve the Lord. He works day and night against Christians who are trying to get the word of God out. He is against those who are trying to witness, who are trying to live a godly separated life, who are trying to live a dedicated consistent Christian life, who are trying to reach lost and saved people with the truth. He doesn't rest until he wears them out, and burns them out and shuts them down.
