We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 7 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 6, 2023

We live in a corrupt world. Truth has stumbled in the street, and uprightness cannot enter. Satan permeates right through society especially in the judiciary. There is little justice any more. We look at ways Christians are penalised by Satan’s system, but evil is promoted.

Requirements? What About Grace?

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 15, 2010
