This Battle


I never thought I would be in this battle. Innocently I believed that there was a "no tribulation zone" and that I was stationed there. But honest motives and all the best intentions cannot shelter or inoculate anyone from the fiery attacks of the devil.

Satan has an impressive arsenal at his disposal and most of his weapons don't appear to be such at all: music that sends false messages, media that glorifies wrong values, advertising that appeals to the flesh, worldly friends that lure us from our First Love, and pastimes that promise to be so much fun... satan lurks in the shadows, practicing guerrilla warfare. A dart of temptation here, an arrow of suggestion there. And it isn't long until hand to hand combat ensues. Or until one surrenders to the enemy...who really didn't seem to be an enemy...at first.
