  8. The Boomerang Effect When can outdated weaponry or tactics successfully return to the battlefield? You can’t walk an inch without being hit with media showcasing vampires, wizards, or super-powered beings. Why the appeal in this day and age?

  9. Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. Revelation 22:14-16

  10. The Gateway Drug • Notice that magic arts are listed first. • Implication that this is a figurehead or gateway to the other detestable practices. • Opening to demonic possession? • How might sorcery be resurfacing as a credible threat against Christianity?

  11. Source Awry - Recap • Remember, in Acts, sorcery was used by Satan in an attempt to: • Pervert the Gospel • Prevent the Gospel • Persecute the Gospel • With our newfound obsession with superheroes, now “plagiarize?”

  12. Practical Steps • Evaluate Satan’s objectives. What are your weak spots? What are the enemy’s assets? • How are you managing your inputs, and that of your children? • Honest Question: • Is your child consuming 90% broccoli and 10% skittles, or the other way around?
