       For us, in American society, another prevalent way in which Satan operates is through the goodness that most of us experience, in that he uses the good times people experience to lead them to forget about God, and the need for personal purity. What is meant is that because most of us live in circumstances which are not hard, per se (at least compared to other times and existences in world history; or other areas of our current world), it can be easy to become complacent. Even more than that, it can become easy to just assume that it really doesn’t matter what we do. It doesn’t matter for the women struggling in her marriage to go ahead and get a divorce. It doesn’t matter for the Christian boyfriend and the girlfriend to go ahead and move in together. So mindsets such as these. After all, everyone is doing it right? So, the goodness we experience intermingled with the discreetly poor example of everyone else can lead people to shift from the gospel, the truth, from being followed in one’s life.
