We must guard our tongue and refuse to spread gossip and slander. If we are to live the good life that leads others to Christ, we cannot resort to quarreling and fighting. While we cannot conform to this world, we must learn to share the truth of Christ in love.

In a frightening vision, the apostle John sees hell itself unleashed upon the earth in a locust-like swarm of demonic activity, carrying out the devastating consequences of sin’s rule. Pastor Chuck Swindoll illuminates Revelation 9: 112, providing important points about demons: they are real and committed to our destruction, but they have limitations, and they must bow to our sovereign Lord, Jesus Christ. Don’t underestimate our enemy, but don’t overestimate him either. Understand God’s ultimate rule even amid the darkness.
