The Iowa Capitol in Des Moines is typically known for being a place where Midwestern values and Christian principles are celebrated. However, in recent news, the Satanic Temple of Iowa erected a holiday display, much to the shock and dismay of many Iowa residents. The display is a clear representation of the spiritual battle that is currently taking place in America.
The state officials have acknowledged that the satanists followed the proper procedures for putting up the material, but there is a small sign on the satanic decor stating that the display is not associated with the State of Iowa. It’s evident that even the state wants to distance itself from the Satanic Temple.
Christians have not turned a blind eye to this display. A prayer group that has been meeting weekly at the Capitol for 30 years addressed the display, expressing their love for all people, including those who put up the satanic display. They believe that God uses all evil for good and are calling for a restoration of godly principles and values in the state and the nation.

Pastor Joel Tenney expressed his shock and dismay at the display, calling it a travesty to see it in the Capitol. He’s committed to holding accountable those responsible for putting it up. This sentiment is shared by the prayer group leader, Paul Dykstra, who believes that the display serves as a reminder for people to be more alert and watchful for such displays of darkness.
The conflicts and issues facing America are not just political or social but are deeply spiritual in nature. The Iowa Capitol prayer group understands this reality and is committed to fighting for the restoration of godly principles and values.
In conclusion, the display of the Satanic Temple in the Iowa Capitol has sparked a deep sense of unease and concern among Christians and conservative residents. It’s a clear representation of the ongoing spiritual battle in America, and it has prompted many to reaffirm their commitment to upholding Christian principles and values in the face of such darkness.
