A recipe for disaster #3 Callous

In the last of this brief series, we employ more upside-down thinking to consider the ways in which Satan would like us to act and react in order to ruin our spiritual health. He will, by all means, prevent us from coming to and keeping near Christ. The last four strategies we consider are his urgings to resist the concern of our brothers and sisters for our souls' good, to develop a diet of spiritual junk food, to stir up envy in our hearts, and to lower our expectations of God and his church. If we do these, with the others, incrementally, simultaneously, and defensively, it is a recipe for disaster.

So, we must remember the reality of this battle, gauge the hostility of our foe, beware the subtlety with which he operates, and grasp the remedy in Christ Jesus, and use the means he has provided to keep from stumbling and falling.
