Hmmmm. While we have been sent out to preach repentance to people so they can receive grace and heavenly benefits,some have also been sent out by the devil to destroy the preachers.This is the state that we are in the world today.Wickedness is on the increase.More and more people are becoming heartless.They take drugs and are carefree.But we will continue to preach the word in spite of the intimidation from the wicked one.Only that as preachers, we must be watchful and careful for the word of God says
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves (Matthew 10.16.
