“Clearly the devil tried to turn believers against each other. In the opening verse of Acts 6, the enemy used a practical oversight to provoke ungodly thoughts, attitudes, and words. Even the appearance of bias or favoritism is a potently-effective tactic he used then…and uses now in my congregation. Praise God, His people were able to thwart the attack of the evil one! And not only to defeat it, but to increase in strength and in effectiveness.”
