The Seven Churches Of Asia 21

INTRO: This is our last message in the letters to the seven churches of Asia. We have seen only two Churches with no criticism; Smyrna and Philadelphia. We have seen two with no commendation; Sardis and Laodicea. We are in the Church of Laodicea and there is no commendation, and a lot of criticism.

Now in an earlier message when I was on the subject of the devil I wanted to deal with it a little further but I could not arrange the message in such a way as to make room for it and said I would mention it elsewhere. I will need to do it elsewhere. Let me just say this. In the 1900s there were many that I would say, allowed the devil to lead to them to extremes on this subject. Out of those extremes some, who later discovered they had been misled reacted, and found ways to discredit working with such situations entirely. A recent American poll shows that only about 65% of professing Christians even believe in a devil, never mind demons. And here is the caution: don’t get caught in either extreme.
