    Certain principles of Scripture are God’s weapons to turn back the Enemy’s assaults. When these truths are in your life they take away hell’s ability to torment. Satan uses certain tools; remove those tools and you take power away from hell!

    Even back in Bible times (where they did a lot of kissing) there were certain kisses you didn’t want. And the worst kisses were those of enemies and betrayers. How did God say we should deal with people who attempt to deceive as those would?

(Readers Digest 2/77 p.103) As I noted a couple of weeks ago, the Bible is just filled with kissing. They did a whole lot more kissing back then than we ...read more
