People who do things in opposition to God will use whatever evil device they can to lead others astray. They are always calculating the best way to gain the advantage, so are not above lying, cheating, even murder. Because we who follow Christ are God's ambassadors, these who oppose God will certainly oppose us. Whatever influence they have they will exercise it to try and remove God from His place of honor and authority. How foolish since God can never be removed, only ignored for a time or opposed for a season. How silly is it to keep butting your head against the Stone Wall? Think about it.
