The natural response to denials of Satan's existence is to ask, Who then runs his business.- J.I. PACKER
Do not mock the Gospels and say there is no Satan. Evil is too real in the world to say that. Do not say the idea of Satan is dead and gone. Satan never gains so many cohorts, as when, in his shrewdness, he spreads the rumor that he is long since dead.
Do not reject the Gospel because it says the Saviour was tempted. Satan always tempts the pure--the others are already his. Satan stations more devils on monastery walls than in dens of iniquity, for the latter offer no resistance.
Do not say it was absurd that Satan should appear to Our Lord, for Satan must always come close to the godly and the strong--the others succumb from a distance. -Fulton John Sheen (1895-1979) _The Eternal Galilean_ [1936]
Satan watches for those vessels that sail without convoy. - GEORGE SWINNOCK
