Evil is very real in our culture and in our world. Satan is a fallen angel who uses evil as a weapon against God's creation.
So humble yourselves before God. Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you. -James 4:7 NLT
Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. -1 Peter 5:8 NLT
BRIEF OVERVIEW
SATAN means adversary or accuser in the original Hebrew (Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-7). In the New Testament Satan in also called by his Greek name Diabolos, or the devil. He is also called "the dragon," "the old serpent" (Rev. 12:9; Rev. 20:2); "the prince of this world" (John 12:31; John 14:30); "the prince of the power of the air" (Ephes. 2:2); "the god of this evil world" (2 Cor. 4:4); " He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God." (Ephes. 2:2).
He tempted Jesus in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). He is "Beelzebub, the prince of demons" (Matthew 12:24). He is the constant enemy of God, of Christ, of the God's kingdom, of the followers of Christ, and of all truth. He is full of falsehood, and all malice. He is exciting, entertaining and seductive in every possible way. His power is very great in the world. "He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour" (1 Peter 5:8). People "taken captive by him" (2 Tim. 2:26). The Bible warns against his " evil schemes" (2 Cor. 2:11), and we are told to "resist" him (James 4:7). Christ redeems his people from "him that had the power of death, that is, the devil" (Hebrews 2:14). Satan has the "power of death," not as lord, but simply as executioner.

IMPORTANT BIBLE VERSES ABOUT SATAN
Satan, the god of this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News that is shining upon them. They don't understand the message we preach about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. -2 Cor. 4:4 NLT
You used to live just like the rest of the world, full of sin, obeying Satan, the mighty prince of the power of the air. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. -Ephes. 2:2 NLT
Then they will come to their senses and escape from the Devil's trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants. -2 Tim. 2:26 NLT
Because God's children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—Jesus also became flesh and blood by being born in human form. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the Devil, who had the power of death. -Hebrews 2:14 NLT
So humble yourselves before God. Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you. -James 4:7 NLT
Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for some victim to devour. -1 Peter 5:8 NLT
This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the Devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels. -Rev. 12:9 NLT

Too Much Praying, Not Enough Action
Saw the BBC News special earlier on about the New Orleans hurricane. Seems to me that we saw a string of people at local, state and federal level all saying that what we really need to do is "pray for the folks in New Orleans". Now I'm all in favour of the power of positive though (even if it is only a placebo style effect), but it strikes me that this God fellow gave us the gifts and intellect that we have to actually get up off our arses and do things, not sit around praying for a mysterious third party to do something about it.
Is an ever more dominant Christian right in the US leading us down a path of inaction? I am reminded of a quote from a US senator saying that we don't need to do anything to protect the environment as the second coming is imminent.
So does excessive use of religion as a prop to cover real world failure lead to physical stagnation?
