The Devil made me do it!
For someone who has experienced an exorcism first hand this is not a laughing matter. While western science and skeptics try to explain away the possibility of a real Devil the fact remains we live in a world full of evil and deception. Much of this evil comes wearing a beautiful mask and flowery words. Even church folks who might believe in the Bible often endorse a powerless dispensational view that places us outside the time frame of such possibilities and adapt a politically correct picture in which all can be remedied with a pill or a visit with a counselor.
A quick study of the Gospel of Mark reveals that about a third of the ministry of Jesus had to do with casting out demons and the Devil. We see the pattern continue in the Book of Acts through the lives of the early church. A gospel without a real Devil is not the gospel of the Bible. And a gospel without the power to cast out demons is not the real gospel.
