                    DECEPTIVE FLOWERS
I have a friend who is a pastor at a church in the lower 48 who was telling me about the flowers in his church. His church, like ours, will take the flowers that were in the worship service that morning, and give them to shut ins or someone who is in the hospital. 
He said he

                    Satan’s Power is Permitted
Lest we be we be terrified by our adversaries,” it is well to remember that Satan’s power is not inherent but permitted (Rom. 13:1). It is not unlimited, but controlled (Job 1:12; 2:6). It is not invincible, but broken (Luke 11:21-11). It is not assured of success, but

                    Misdirection in a football game is fun. Misdirection from Satan is deadly. He has been doing it for thousands of years, from the time in the Garden of Eden when he got Eve to believe that God was holding out on her and Adam, to Exodus when he got the Israelites focused on hating Moses, to the time

                    SATAN AS AMUSING
One of Satan's characteristic strategems is to give those who believe that he does exist an entirely wrong concept of what his true nature and character really are.
In the Middle Ages, when there were no radios, no magazines, no newspapers, no movies, no telephones, and none of
