This Flag Does Not Come Down

During the Golden Age of Piracy, marauders such as Blackbeard, Black Bart, and others drew on a number of techniques to commandeer a ship. Once on board, to signal their domination, they would raise their flag over the conquered vessel. This maneuver was a way to tell all other ships—private, public, and pirate—"This one is mine, and is now under my control." From shadowing to reshaping the ship to the destroying of the manifest, the steps in this oppressive occupation are identical to those the Chief Thief, of whom Jesus warns humanity, takes to highjack people's lives.

Drawing on his own life experiences, Pastor Art Evans reveals the strategies Satan, like the pirates of the high seas, used to conquer his life and steer him toward addictions. Aware of the grave peril he was in, Art called out to Jesus Christ, the Prince of Life, Who, stepped onto Art's ship, tore the pirate's flag down, and raised His own blood-bought, blood-stained banner. It's His flag that does not come down!
