Can we Blame the Devil for all Things that happen in Church?

[revrandy]

I have pondered on this lately.. Churches struggling.. People leaving...

Is it the Devil's fault?

I don't think so in many cases... I think a part of the problem we have is not looking at ourselves and realizing that there are area's where we need to change..

So many times it's easier to point out our neighbors problems while we ignore or disregard our own short-comings...

and it's even easier to blame the Devil..

It just seems that when troubles come... we look everywhere else but the mirror...


any thoughts on this?
