Once again, Joshua has important instructions for Gods people. The enemy is at the gate and Christians must wake up!

As far as good, church-attending believers are generally concerned, this subjectwill be challenging. As I have been developing these chapters, Ive had numerousconversations with church people concerning their opinions about evil, the devil,and demons. A high percent either had virtually no idea what I was talking aboutor saw the subject as an antiquated vestige of the old theology. Generally, theythought in psychological categories that made demonic entities unacceptable. Toput it another way, they didnt believe.
Lets see if I can change any minds.
The chapters are not necessarily arranged to logically follow one another. Each unitis complete unto itself but some areas may be in sequence with the chapter beforeit. Rather than progressing numerically, the material is arranged as if you werewalking around a statue and considering all sides. When the viewing is done, hopefullyyoull be able to say that youve considered all aspects of the subject matter.
In this journey, I have used a number of Bible translations, because they expressdifferent nuances of the Greek text that bring us closer to the basic meaning. TheRevised Standard Version is generally referred to as it is a highly reliable translation.However, I find the Phillips Translation to be helpful, as well as the New King JamesVersion. At some points, I have referred to the New International Version and theLiving Bible Paraphrased. This wide range of biblical texts will help us get to thebottom of what the Bible is saying to us.
My references to evil, the Evil One, the devil, and Satan reflect my own theologicalpreferences. The names devil and Satan may conjure up images that I want to avoid.Consequently, I write the Evil One to suggest the personification of evil in termswe can envision, as we do with angels. Satan and the devil are biblical names forthe same entity, but weve certainly conjured the creature into an image of our ownchoosing. I want to make sure we are not misled by wrong ideas. When Evil is capitalized,it refers to the devil or Satan. Small case evil implies a destructive force thatis harmful to us. However, evil may refer to Satan, or be used as a collective forall of the demonic. Because the Evil One is without gender, I will often use thepronoun it. Using the pronouns for male and female implies the ability to haveaffectionate relationships, and the Evil One has no capacity for loving concern.
By the end of our journey together, I hope I will have challenged those with a secularmind-set to considering the possibility that our contemporary view lacks a most important dimension that only Scripturecan supply. If so, youre going to be glad youve taken this trip with me.
Americans thought World War I was bad until World War II blew Hiroshima and Nagasaki off the map. The carnage in that war became so bloody, horrendous, and overpowering that returning soldiers didnt speak of it for decades. The remembrances remainedtoo grim. They had stood toe-to-toe with evil.
The amazing aspect of such a frightening conflict was how quickly society returnedto indifference about what had occurred. We simply shoved it under the rug. FrenchmanAlbert Camus couldnt. His allegorical novel The Plague used a deadly disease torepresent the Nazis. However, the point of the book was that, once the plague ended,everyone returned to their normal routine with no reflection on what had occurred.The book ends with the insight that evil can remain dormant for years before it returnswith ghastly and devastating impact.
We dare not forget.
Consider how Evil might live in your backyard.
Sally nodded. I agree.
Sallys husband, George, had been the chairman of the church board for three years.An intelligent man, he was the head of his family. Except when Sally told Georgewhat to do.
Sally put her hand over her mouth while she murmured to her husband. Really, George.Pastor Bob has got to go. His sermons have gotten so empty. Youre in charge; startthe process to send Bob on his way to somewhere else.
Please, George whispered. Many people are really helped each week by his sermons.
Youre not paying attention, Sally growled. Most of us dont like him anymore.
Would you detect evil working in this situation?
Hi, the sweet young thing said. Im Stella.
Hello, Jack typed back. Youre gorgeous.
Well, thank you, sweetie, Stella replied. Where have you tuned in from?
I live in Dallas, Texas.
Youre kidding! Im sitting here on my bed in Plano.
Thats just down the street from me, Jack replied. Youre not far away.
Stella leaned into the camera. How about getting together. We could meet at the El Ranchorestaurant on I-35.
Jack looked around the room to make sure his wife wasnt near. What a deal! Youtell me when!
Evil working on Jack? Hmm.
Her problem? Grief? Repressed hostility? Sure. Those factors were there, but couldher ongoing anger and resentment over her husbands death have caused her friendsto believe she had also opened her heart to an invasion of evil that turned her behaviorinto a compulsion.
