Remember, first, that the flesh has a sinful bent toward selfinterest. It is committed to the question “What’s in it for me?” Second, Satan is a liar and divider. Notice that the most explicit biblical teaching on spiritual warfare (Eph. 6:10–20) is found in a book of the Bible that emphasizes unity. Satan’s most prominent strategy is to fracture and divide. And third, the world applauds these tendencies.
