Wednesday evening was hot dogs and hamburgers with tator tots. Chocolate cake for dessert as we had the all American meal. We never seem to go hungry.
After the meal we watched a video about C.S. Lewis's Screw tape letters. This is a fictional story of two demons trying to see how they can corrupt a man who is seeking God. The purpose of the book is not to speculate about diabolical life but to throw light from a new angle on the life of man.
We know from scripture that Satan is out to destroy. 1 Peter 5:8-9 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
We know that there is a very real enemy and we also know that Jesus has given us the victory over sin through His death on the Cross. What great assurance we have when we sing this great hymn.
Up from the grave he arose
With a mighty triumph o'er his foes.
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And he lives for ever with his saints to reign.
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!
