Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember hearing a story about the demon-possessed witch doctor who will only be persuaded by tests of power. The witch doctor enjoys much social prestige and financial wealth in the community. He conjures his powerful spirits and dares the Christian to match that display of power. The Christian, however, does not necessarily comply with this "test." God in his sovereignty might arrange something, but then again the stubborn recalcitrance of the witch doctor might have sealed his own doom. So we wait to see what God wants to do about that, because anyway it is not about us. Just because the messengers from Babylon are here looking around, that does not mean that we have to give them a "show."
