Welcome to FEA. You are in the right place and something good is going to happen to you today. Praise the Lord!
Recently a group called The Satanic Temple, has launched a nationwide after school club in an attempt to counter Christian organizations in public schools. The club is known as the “After School Satanic Club”. It was created in response to the Christian Good News Club which is established in public schools throughout the nation. The spokesperson and cofounder of The Satanic Temple, who goes by the name of Lucien Greaves, told The Christian Post that the presence of Christian clubs in public schools has “created the need for a counter-balance in the extracurricular options.”
Greaves claims that the Good News Club teaches children shame, guilt, fear and that they will die and be tormented in hell. But the After School Satanic Club will focus on art projects and education with no religious opinion inserted. “The program is merely created and operated by The Satanic Temple,” said Greaves. “There is no attempt to indoctrinate the children.” He also said that there are as many as nine schools which have already set up these satanic chapters and that he expects the increased media attention to lead more students to express an interest in starting more clubs.
The Good News Club is a ministry of the nondenominational group, Child Evangelism Fellowship. It has a total of approximately 4,500 chapters nationwide. Moises Esteves, vice president of USA Ministries for Child Evangelism Fellowship, believes that the Satanic Club is just another atheist PR stunt that would soon fade away. He said, “Like those before it, this club will fizzle out, because parents don’t view their children as pawns for a blend of political activism, religious critique and performance art by angry atheists.”
However, we tend to share a different opinion from Moises Estreves. We see this as a strategy of the devil to capture the minds of our children. We must never underestimate any effort of the enemy. We must always perceive it for what it is and deal with it accordingly. Satan’s work doesn’t just fizzle out; we have to drive it out. Therefore, we must use our spiritual weapons and destroy this evil. “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds…” (1Cor. 10:4). Amen!

When You Hit a Detour, Don’t Give Up!
By Rick Warren
“God is always on the alert, constantly on the lookout for people who are totally committed to him” (2 Chronicles 16:9 MSG).
When God gives you a mission, you can be sure you’ll run into delays, difficulties, detours, and dead ends along the way. They are a natural part of life. But you can be ready for them. For example, if anybody had a right to be discouraged, it was Noah. Do you know how long it took Noah to build the ark? 120 years. Could you go 120 years on a project without one word of encouragement from anyone?
Noah trusted God. And when he heard God’s warning about the future, Noah believed him, even though there was no sign of a flood. I bet there were many days that Noah didn’t feel like going to work, but for 43,800 days, he went to the same place, and he worked. He never gave up.
Don’t give up on your dream, either. Don’t give up on your marriage. Don’t give up on your health. Don’t, don’t, don’t give up. God is in control. You haven’t read the final chapter of your life. God’s already written it, but you haven’t read it yet. The Bible says, “God is always on the alert, constantly on the lookout for people who are totally committed to him” (2 Chronicles 16:9 MSG). God is looking for people who are committed to him and his plan so that he can bless them.
Don’t you want to be one of those people? Then don’t give up!
Talk It Over
What is the God-size dream you’ve been ready to give up on because of difficulties and delays?
How have you grown spiritually through the detours and delays in your life?
How do you want God to bless you as you commit your life fully to him?
