    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 21, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 15,038 views

    Satan’s aim is to destroy our faith and to destroy our church. If he can destroy our faith, then we’ll destroy our church for him. And if he destroys the church, our faith will follow.

He loves a divided church because constant conflict keeps the church distracted from what it’s supposed to be doing. He’s ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 20, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,836 views

    Either what the Bible tells us in its totality is true, or it is to be dismissed as fable and we can discount anything we want to. Those who are liberals in churches and colleges deny parts of the bible and adopt humanism to try to adapt the bible. God is supreme.
