The Spiritman Update 413
You can not oppose demons with idols.
"...but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods, molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back..." 1 Kings 14:9 WMB
A Superhero Of Christian Proportion
What is a "superhero of christian proportion?" The answer is simple. A follower of Christ whose powers come from God. So why not just say christian superhero? Those who have a working knowledge of the faith understand that humility is a virtue. They also understand that people are flawed and thus deserving of a humble attitude. Meanwhile, superheroes seem to have it all together. They overcome obstacles using their own great powers and have no apparent reason to be humble. The whole concept of a christian superhero is difficult to embrace. Yet superhero stories continue to offer inspiration to audiences of imperfect people. What if the idea of a larger than life, perfect person is an incorrect description of the superhero?
In the beginning our superhero is a person who goes about life in an average way. Not very useful or effective. Then the landscape changes around him. His ordered world is thrown into chaos. Nothing is as it was before. The rules have changed and now the average, useless and ineffective person has become just the right person - the one God chooses. A christian superhero is really just a very flawed person that is made useful by God in His mighty power.
