One must, as the saying goes, always give the devil his due.
I am making the assumption here that you are actually a pastor. It is on that basis that I make the following appeal to you. I ask that you, as a pastor, reflect and pray upon the stories in the Christian tradition having to do with making deals with the devil. I would ask you if there is a deep truth in them? How did the people making those deals feel? Did they know what they were getting into? How does the teenager feel as the pusher is giving him his very first fix of heroin? Does some deep part of him know that he is diving into hell? What does the teenager think about that pusher offering him the first fix? Does he think the pusher is his friend? Does the person doing the deal with the devil, or the teen getting his first fix from the pusher, or the young girl about to go with the pimp...can they sense the moral rot and corruption that stands before them? If you or a member of your flock should find themselves confronting such an offer how would you counsel them? So that is my request.
