The Struggle Is Real (The Flesh, The World, and the Devil) - The Dirty War [Ryan Ashley]

Ephesians 6:10-18, Galatians 4:1-9, Colossians 2:15

1. Convince You that You are in Peace Time

“Prosperity knits a man to the world. He feels that he is finding his place in it, while really it is finding its place in him.” 

2. Keep You From Your True Identity

“It is funny how mortals always picture us as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out.” 

3. You Do Not Really Know Your City

“When they have really learned to love their neighbours as themselves, they will be allowed to love themselves as their neighbours.”

4. Lull You Into Forgetting What Time It Is

“For the Present is the point at which time touches eternity.” 

5. Here God’s Song of Love For The World

“The more often he feels without acting, the less he will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel.”

6. Trick You That Your Worship is Not Powerful

“A moderated religion is as good for us as no religion at all—and more amusing.”
