Satan Claus???

I listened to a sermon yesterday by Brody at Snowbird on Spiritual Warfare and I'm amazed more and more at the tactics Satan uses to divert our attention from God. While Satan would be overjoyed at gaining our worship, he will undoubtedly settle for us worshipping anything but God. His mission is to warp our perception of who God is, forcing us to have "thoughts" about God that are not rooted in Scripture. This tactic was first used in the Garden of Eden as he convinced Adam and Eve to question God's sovereignty and goodness. Rather than trusting in the revelation God had given them about himself, they instead chose to listen to "outside sources". How sad that today we still allow everything but Scripture to shape our understanding of Yahweh, the one true God. This article provides a good reminder of using every opportunity we have, including celebrating Christmas, to communicate truth about God. Helping others understand God should be a primary goal of our daily life. This article is another great resource.
