Our Daily Bread

Philip Pullman is a gifted writer of fantasy
books. His Dark Materials trilogy includes The
Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The
Amber Spyglass and is very popular among
young readers. But below the surface of these
sympathetic characters and compelling subplots
is a sinister purpose. The story culminates in a
great war against God.
In these books, Pullman views the fall of Satan
as a righteous cause for personal independence
from God’s “tyrannical” control. He implies that
Satan’s attempt to usurp the throne of God was
the right thing to do!
In the book of Revelation, we read of the end-
times: “War broke out in heaven . . . . [And Satan]
was cast to the earth” (Rev. 12:7-9). That future
war is being preceded by an earthly conflict on
the battlefield of our minds.
We must recognize Satan for what he is—a
liar (John 8:44). His strategy is to take God’s
words out of context and twist them into false-
hood (Gen. 3:1-7). Our best defense against him
is to hold firmly to the truth of God’s Word
(Eph. 6:10-18).
Our loving heavenly Father is “not willing
that any should perish” (2 Peter 3:9). But neither
will He force our obedience. He leaves the choice
to us.  — Dennis Fisher
