Hold on now, I just saw some friendly fire Tactics that we don't require Our aim is off and yet we still conspire Focused on the words of a liar, whose time is short and soon to expire So please, lay down your weapons See, it's less about our intentions and more about our misconceptions It depends on what our perception is Ethereal or material, deception lives For the more gossip gives, good times to the guilty However, I'm not sure that's the way to go Talking about so-and-so, so-and-so strife and so they know Everybody's business like TMZ or Wendy's show There's drama galore, but please leave love at the door You came to serve and then forgot who you're serving for Is it a latent desire to acquire power you ignore It's like this brother told me before Bureaucracy and bickering make for beautiful decor And yet, we have an enemy But wait, there's more At home with your spouse Misunderstandings and emotions bubble over during conflict And clear communication becomes a chore It must be their fault because you know it's not yours Same thing in traffic or in everyday human interpersonal transactions We seem to be at war But what kind It's like watching a foreign movie without captions Limited, we process only what we can see Which leads to the inaccurate conclusions or ill-conceived abstractions upon which we Agree And yet, we have an enemy We must not forget, not unlike the inexperienced and eager cadet, who it is we are to fight Now one might argue that church folk are preoccupied with feuding First and foremost with the family, each other Nurturing enmity, holding grudges to extreme lengths of insanity And especially that there is a tendency to zealously judge one another mentally as well As verbally As if we don't all owe the same debt And yet, all the while, we have an enemy Enter the church volunteer I did not get that email What's this last minute detail What's the matter with you They don't operate like this in business or retail Wait, why do you have keys and a code to the printer Please, I've been here longer than you You You're more like one of those absolute beginners I'm third generation, inherited my salvation I mean, I don't even have to try Why Why was she a red lobster He watching that movie, huh Why doesn't the pastor work faster to make more time for me Why doesn't he see that when they say we disagree, it's my side he should believe Clearly, he's tripping Well, I tried Might as well give up and neglect my position Campaign for conflict and dig up dissent Call the conference and then go wherever I want It doesn't matter if I was sent You You need to repent Look what you got on And why you want to sing that song Sounds too much like ministry You might as well just move along And yet we still have an enemy Exit the Pharisee Now, I grew up in a church and have witnessed my share of foolishness in excess We're worse than three roads at recess doing their best to transgress And I confess, I've seen passive aggressive jabs and meetings talking behind their backs Like heathens Treasurers helping themselves to treason and church boards void of reason Judges suing members in promiscuous fires starting from scantily clad embers And then there's pride that deacon in line misplaced competition, fashion shows and selfish Living Attitudes collide, but in such a climate, how are guests or visitors to survive Vanity's venom spreads like a virus through the community Oh, what lack of unity, cussing each other out fluently, fueling the contention that Exists between you and me And yet we have an enemy Who is this enemy Well, he's petty, vile, sadistic and messy Look in the mirror and say, it's not the person next to me Enter our opponent, the devil, Lucifer and all his imbecile fallen angels They coming at us from all angles, angry and ready to strangle our connection to the creator He started off smarter, is invisible and has been at it since before Adam Imagine what he knows He's far from random, rather methodical, a phantom And at this point is extremely efficient at deceiving humanity, not to mention Christianity The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy And I would argue, bring doubt He plans to seed it and waits for it to sprout However, he's running out of time, running out of spine, running his mouth and running Out of lies And so he recycles them And yet we still don't recognize him as our enemy Scripture warns us to be sober and watch out for our adversary as he paces back and forth Looking for who he can devour It sounds scary, but he's actually lame Due to a lack of power, he operates by subterfuge, treachery and who he can manage to frame Imagine it from his point of view, the definition of insane He instigates some discord, sits back, laughs and whispers, I got you, with his iPhone on Record Now the devil can't make us do anything It's not as if he's out here pulling strings He merely advocates for the sins we already find most attractive You know which ones And waits for us to act up It's better we back up The fact is, it's kind of like if your back hurts and a supermodel asks if you'd like A back rub He flirts and we let him in And then we let him win Tell me, who here wants to be a slave to sin Don't get me wrong, this doesn't negate personal responsibility I only bring it up because there's much more at work than what we can see, even with a PhD And yes, he is the enemy I'd ask us to check our weaponry We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers and wickedness In high places But by God's graces, the Bible points out that we are not ignorant of the devil's devices He cheerleads for crisis and seeks to valorize our vices That's why it's important to know who Christ is and who we are in him In other words, we have the ability to win Triumph over Satan, cynicism, other people's shortcomings and sin Although you already know it, it's still critical that you hear it Love, longsuffering and kindness are fundamental fruits of the Spirit Therefore, it is not accidental that the love we show each other is central to how the world Will see Jesus through us Trust, in order for the Lord to add to the church daily, being on one accord is a must Not a maybe And so finally, what about this enemy Well, let me see If we remember and realize who we are up against, it might make it easier to love one another Even when it doesn't make sense Easier to help one another without weaving waywardly through pretense Easier to mature and uncover what's behind the offense And hence, help our witness, enhance our capacity for forgiveness and stop people from leaving Or just not coming to service Journey with me beneath the surface and through the eye of a needle Now, in all my research at the church, I haven't found out what God would do if it wasn't for Loving difficult people in spite of themselves, like me and like you When we begin to discern family disputes spiritually, we'd be more inclined to see that we do indeed Have an enemy And yet beloved, we also have the victory
