There was a show that came out in 1977 which centered around two motorcycle officers for the California Highway Patrol. They were CHP’s – Chips we call them. Teachers in here remember Ponch and Jon. I bring up CHP’s because recently there was an incident on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, CA. Two pedestrians were walking on the bridge when suddenly they were struck by some kind of darts. These two unsuspecting walkers (not the walking dead) had no idea who fired these darts or exactly where they were fired from. The darts were about five inches in length and were sharpened to a point. California Highway Patrol investigated this incident, and were asking for people who might have information about what happened to contact CHP.

The KJV says fiery darts. What kind of fiery darts or flaming missiles does Satan use? There are all kinds of ways he gets us to sin. Willard Collins used to say it best when he talked about the three bullets of Satan. John says “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from
