The Primary Menace of the Church in History has Always Been the Devil

Powerful forces in the unseen world fight against the church, and its mandate to preach the Gospel to the unsaved, and teach the Word of God to the people of God.  The church today had lost its spiritual vitality because it has no real vision for the people of God.  The people of God are being sold tired and trite platitudes as the Word of God.  Platitudes do not save.  Platitudes do not help people in spiritual crisis.  The devil has his ministers of light who teach false doctrine to the people of God, and teach them to live passive and ineffective lives.
