I wonder sometimes if skits that follow this paradigm of:
1-everything’s good with Jesus 2-demons flirt with us and bring us into all kinds of uncontrollable evils 3-Jesus wants to break through our torment and eventually we reach out for Him to do so and He strikes them all down
oversimplify the complexity of a relationship with Christ and encourage thoughts that once we’re with Jesus everything becomes awesome and we will no longer be tormented or tempted.
I’m not disagreeing on a certain level this outline faithfully represents what happens in our the process of our fallenness and acceptance of Christ. I’m not disagreeing this is a powerful testimony and certainly a tool God uses for speaking to our wayward hearts.
I’m just wondering if we can or need to do better.
