“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”
–1John 2:16
There’s a war going on.
This war is not Muslim against the West. It is not black against white. It is not rich against poor.
It is the war which the world wages every day upon those who dwell in it.
It is a war waged via the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and pride of life: all those material blandishments which the world uses to snare the unwary and lead them to destruction.
Rise against the christian machine – There’s a war going on. It not only involves the world and the Christian, but those who carry the label of Christian as well.
“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
—James 4:4
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”
—1 John 2:15
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
—Romans 12;2
Once a person becomes a follower of Jesus, the world does not surrender.
It labors every day to once again trap that member of the kingdom of heaven with its bait: pleasures and appetite, carnal allures, wealth and shiny baubles, honors and exaltation of men.
There is a war going on.
The war involves the world and each individual.
And it involves the ultimate destination of that thing in which many no longer believe: a man’s eternal soul.
DOES the reader know he is under attack?
DOES the reader know the world has declared war on him?
REGRETTABLY, the world will win almost all of its battles with men.
THERE is still time to change direction (repent) and place one’s trust in Almighty God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
