Being single lets you live in theory & relationships drag you into practice. And practice is messy. Think about it, you can spend years reading about forgiveness but you only discover your capacity to forgive when someone hurts you.
Satan is not opposed to good morals.
Heâs opposed to Jesus Christ.
Read that again because most Christians miss this completely.
Satan doesnât care if youâre a âgood person.â He doesnât care if you volunteer at the food bank, recycle your trash, and help old ladies cross the street. He doesnât care if youâre kind, generous, and well-liked by everyone in your community.
He cares that you donât bow the knee to Jesus.
Hereâs the deception thatâs damning millions:
Satan has convinced people that morality equals spirituality. That being a âgood personâ is the same as being a Christian. That if you just live right, treat people well, and avoid the âbig sins,â youâre acceptable to God.
This is a lie straight from the pit of hell.
The Pharisees had impeccable morals. They followed the law meticulously. They were respected, disciplined, and religiously devoted.
Jesus called them children of the devil.
Why? Not because their morals were bad. Because their morals replaced Christ.
Satanâs greatest trick isnât making bad people worse. Itâs making good people think they donât need a Savior.
Think about it:
The atheist who feeds the homeless thinks heâs good enough without God.
The Buddhist who meditates and practices compassion thinks sheâs enlightened without Christ.
The Muslim who prays five times daily thinks heâs righteous without Jesus.
The moral Christian who goes to church, pays his tithe, and avoids scandal thinks heâs saved without surrender.
All of them are headed to the same place: eternal separation from God.
Because morality doesnât save. Jesus saves.
âFor by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.â Ephesians 2:8-9
Satan loves moral people who reject Jesus. Theyâre his best advertisement for the lie that you can earn your way to heaven.
Theyâre living proof that you can:
â˘Be kind without Christ
â˘Be generous without God
â˘Be disciplined without the Holy Spirit
â˘Be respected without redemption
And still be lost.
The most dangerous people in hell wonât be the murderers and rapists. Theyâll be the moral, upstanding citizens who thought their goodness was good enough.
Their morals became their idol. Their goodness became their god.
And Satan smiled because heâd accomplished his goal: Keep them from Jesus.
Hereâs what most Christians donât understand:
Satan doesnât need to make you do bad things. He just needs to keep you from doing the ONE thing that matters: surrendering to Christ.
If he can get you to:
â˘Trust your morals instead of Christâs sacrifice
â˘Rely on your goodness instead of Godâs grace
â˘Believe in your works instead of Jesusâ finished work
Heâs won.
You can live a moral life and still die lost. You can be a good person and still face judgment. You can avoid all the âbig sinsâ and still end up separated from God forever.
Because the only sin that damns you eternally is rejecting Jesus Christ.
âHe that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.â John 3:36
Not the murderer who repents and believes in Christ is damned.
Not the thief who turns to Jesus on the cross is damned.
Not the prostitute who washes Jesusâ feet with her tears is damned.
The moral, religious person who rejects Christ is damned.
Thatâs why Satan loves morality without Jesus. It sends people to hell with a smile on their face, convinced they were good enough.
Stop trusting your morals. Start trusting Jesus.
Your goodness wonât save you. Your works wonât redeem you. Your morality wonât justify you.
Only the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away your sin and make you acceptable to a holy God.
Everything else is just Satanâs distraction from the one thing that actually matters.
I see a lot of people telling women to submit to men, but no one is teaching men to be worthy of submission, the type that comes naturally and effortlessly. A âtraditionalâ relationship isnât achieved by following rules, but by falling in love with someone you respect
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
A line from The Odyssey that hits hard:
âWhat you most want is what you most canât have. And what you most canât have is what you already had, and lost.â
I had two abortions. I ran a Planned Parenthood clinic and even was named employee of the year. But Jesus met me in my brokenness, forgave me, and transformed my life.
No one is beyond His mercy. If He can redeem my story, He can redeem anyoneâs.
The woman who clothes herself in wisdom belongs with a man who walks in wisdom. These two will bring worship, glory, and honor to God rather than themselves.
This man literally injected his wife with testosterone so that she would want to have sex with him more.
She loved to sing and part of her ministry was leading worship in their church. Testosterone changed her voice so she could not sing.
This is an evil man. A wolf. And he is not getting the hate he deserves. He married his mistress after his wife died and he somehow is still a pastor of a church. A total shame and disgrace.
Itâs funny how we have spent months attacking an innocent man while we have this loser over here who is going by unscathed
