Tactics of the enemy

We are engaged in spiritual warfare, whether we will it or not. Our enemy is a compound of the world, the flesh, and the devil. There are a number of recognizable patterns of attack that can weaken or defeat us.

Our enemy:

• Makes good seem evil and evil seem good.
• Draws us toward extremes and away from the path of virtue.
• Inspires self-centered perfectionism.
• Encourages counterfeit piety.
