    Man is designed to be a spiritual being. He will worship something, even if it's a false god. The truth has been diluted and compromised by many, and we live among many who are confused. There is an urgent need for spiritual discernment in our day.

It is foolish to believe everything we are told and much of what we see. Lies and deception were used to tempt ...read more
