The most
important job a communicator of the gospel has is to help the receiver of the
communication connect gospel truth to everyday life. In our reality, Satan
attacks every person's life. When a person is disconnected from others and
disconnected from God, Satan takes advantage of this lack of connection. When
people lead disconnected lives, everyday life easily turns into chaos.
Connected lives are fruitful lives. Connected persons live life on purpose, for
a purpose. Disconnected lives are full of problems. If our heart is totally
connected to Christ, our faith is unshakable. When our connection to Christ via
the Holy Spirit is unbreakable, we would forever walk in the glory and grace of
his presence. However, our faith is not strong and our connection to Christ is
weak. When our faith is weak, our connection to Christ becomes weaker, and we
end up in this downward spiral of losing what little faith we possess. For
persons who are Christians, Satan tries to attack our connection to God by
using adversity, pain, and suffering to weaken our connection to Christ. As
Satan attacks, connections begin to fade, and there is backsliding. We must
counter-attack Satan with prayer, meditation, humility, and an open heart to
Christ's redeeming love. A melted heart kneeling before the Cross is our
greatest offense against the evil one.
