The Olympics Spiritual Battle
Today SoulSupply takes the unusual decision to follow contemporary events again. Good Christian reflections are faith building, helpful for our witness and affirming to our souls.
INTRODUCTION:
If Muhammad had come under attack like this, the Olympics would NOT be going ahead – guaranteed.
Several things that occurred recently reminded me once again of the reality of the spiritual war that we are in. One of the biggest mistakes the Christian can make is to not be aware of this ubiquitous spiritual battle that we are all involved in. Living as if everything is just sweetness and light will just mean we keep losing to the other side.
There’s good art and there’s bad art. This was bad art. Good art inspires. Bad art mocks and disgusts. The Olympics are supposed to be a unifying event, not a place to insult the deepest beliefs of many.
Why should Christians ignore diabolical attacks on their Lord and their faith? Too often we are just too laid back and too apathetic. A bit of righteous indignation now and then would not go astray.
For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 6:12)
