Today I received a letter from a friend who is going through a tough time of discouragement...
In my response back to him I said that we have to keep trusting in Christ and allow Him to sustain us through difficult times. I told him that we "cannot go it alone." This world is too cold and cruel and the devil is too demented and evil for a Christian to make it without Jesus being first in his or her life.
And right now, I am watching our first real snow fall as I am typing this journal entry. Here in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains winter often comes early and uninvited.
Also, I was encouraged to see that ABC-TV just had a short special about Wicca and Witchcraft in America. It was aired a short time ago during the 6 PM "Prime Time" news.
While much of it was sympathetic and neutral (unfortunately), thankfully there was one minister
who, when interviewed for his 30-second slot, stated that "all witchcraft" is inherently evil. That all of it ultimately leads to deeper forms of spiritual bondage, and sometimes to outright satanism.
I was glad to see that the minister was allowed to speak clearly and intelligibly, and that no one
tried to make him look "crazy," as the media often tries to do with sincere Christian ministers.
I can only say "Amen" to all of this!
