Ignorance and misunderstanding create sufficiently enough confusion within this world – that trickery and malice are found far less commonly to be the root cause behind the the pain and suffering imposed by men upon each other.
There is little need for an active supernatural enemy of man, when man has turned so far from God and is so hardened in heart that he becomes a great enemy to his own kind.
We are children of one or the other. We either serve to bring truth and love and mercy and forgiveness to the world, giving of ourselves to build up others. Or we serve the purpose of tearing down others to build up the image of ourselves. We are either seeking to honor God and honor others, or we are expecting honor for ourselves.
Who’s your daddy?
