The Devil and Satan
Prayer:
"... and keep us from evil."
As I've covered this topic a number of times I thought I'd throw it open to discussion instead of repeating past notes. Here's the previous notes

In summary:
- Mankind likes having someone or something to blame when things go wrong. What better than something which no one can see!
- This can be a powerful excuse for choosing one sirde or another
- We are tempted by our own human nature. Temptation comes within ("There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man" – 1 Cor 10:13)
- Jesus was tempted just as we are, and visa versa
- God is all powerful, no one can withstand him
