LEAF HIM ALONE

Why the leaves, I don't know. But the horns are a dead giveaway. So I say, "Leaf him alone".

Scripture tells us in 2 Cor. 5:17 "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away." The best thing about that is that Satan no more has dominion in our lives. Sure, we'll still sin because we're still human. But we're forgiven for our past, present, and future sins because of the death of Jesus on the cross. We don't go out to sin intentionally because we know we'll be forgiven. We don't want to, we don't have the desire to follow the ways of Satan. That's in the past.

But the evil one is sly. He evidently loves a good challenge. He seems to try harder to bring down evangelical leaders, preachers, other leaders in churches. He never rests.

We have to vow that while "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23), we will "keep on keeping on" as former pastor J. R. Janese would say. Or "press on" as former SBC Pastor Greg would say. Or as Jesus Himself said during his 40 days in the desert, "Get thee behind me Satan".
