What Satan thrives On!
The enemy will put us in a place of weakness and then He will attack us, this is very much so with the life of Job. But here we are also looking at our Lord, who was being tempted by Satan for Him to be worshiped, through the vanity of power and wealth!
We see that in times past even though people knew about God, they chose to ignore what was His to be honored and today many excuses are made for sin, that are not much different.
The western Ekklesia is dying for lack of preaching the Gospel, because leaders want to be comfortable and many in doing so excuse Sin claiming one thing and another and many fall away from their faith, if they ever were real believers in the first place?
