No, the enemy challeges us to rush into situations in the flesh, to
solve problems.

It took me a long time to realize that you do not attack most problems
involving human and possibly other spirits in church settings head on.
Satan LOVES the clash bang clatter whopptedoo of a crusader who jumps
into a fight without understanding.

I agree.

He is wonderful!
