One of the biggest epiphanies that has taken place in my life in probably the last 10 years has

been the realization that the strategy of the enemy against a good man is actually very different than the strategy

of the enemy against a bad man or an unholy man or a man who doesn't care about God or doesn't want the things of Jesus Christ.

The strategies change.

And to a man who is not living well, a man who's not engaged with his family, a man who's deep

in his addictions, a man who's just frankly ignoring God, the enemy's message to him

is, you're great, you're doing great. You know and he's just numb he's checked out

There's nothing in the guy's life that's drawing him to self-evaluation to looking he he thinks he to looking, he thinks he's fine, right?

He thinks he's doing good.

The strategy changes for the good man.

And the enemy realizes that he can't keep a good man from engaging.

A good man is trying.

He may feel like an idiot.

You know, it may be going very awkwardly,

but he's trying.

You know, he's in there with his wife.

He's in there for his kids or, or he's in there for, you know, his mission or his business

or his church or, you know, he's an engaged man.

He's trying to live well.
