43%, but also the 90%- right?

When I was trying to get into college, lo those many years ago, I was asked to write an essay discussing a book, any book, that had changed the way I thought and lived. I chose Screwtape Letters, though I was vaguely afraid that it would not impress because it is not a difficult book. Still, I thought an honest essay was more likely to be effective than a difficult essay. (My choice panned out, I got in and loved my college.)

Anyway, the premise of my essay was simple. As long as I had considered the devil to be a joke, a caricature, or a vague notion of evil to set against an equally vague notion of God, I could ignore him. Ignoring him meant that in hundreds of small ways, he was able to make inroads into my life.

This morning a friend posted the following quote on Facebook, “Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says…“Oh ****, She’s up!””

I try!
 
God is very real.

Angels are very real.

Devils are very real.
 
I’m in with those who believe in God…(by the way, that gallop poll also showed that only 73%, or something like that, believed in One True God while the remainder only believed in the idea of a “god” or “higher being”).

I believe in the One True God, and I know satan is real and the devils are real. I know that spiritual warfare is a part of everyday life for the world and most don’t even realize it and I love to talk to my friends about it.

I used to be shy about talking about that kind of stuff, because it CAN be “social suicude”. But I realized I was doing a huge dis-service to my friends by withholding the truth from them. So, I don’t shy away from those topics at all anymore. (Though, I do still get nervous and insecure sometimes…but the Truth is worth telling.)
