It is common in today’s American culture to hear on the evening news of the color of the terror alert level…usually yellow or orange (I don’t think we’ve been at green since 9/11, have we?).
Yet, as believers in Christ, we have a much more serious terrorist for whom we need to be alert. And this terrorist is dedicated to attacking our Christian way of life…to make us compromise…to make us less effective. That terrorist is none other than Satan!
The apostle Peter issued this terrorist alert in his first epistle: “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.” (1 Peter 5:8-9, NIV)
Sounds like a red level alert to me, how about you?
