Ang pagiging isang huwad na saksi ay kumikilos bilang ahente ni Satanas; sa ilalim ng kontrol ng diyablo, isang maling saksi ang nagbubuhos ng mga kasinungalingan at siya ay naging isang insulto sa lipunan. Ang mga huwad na saksi ay parurusahan.

The Devil's Tools

Contributed by Steve Woods (Pastor Woody) on May 2, 2019

It is so important to any believer that we not let the Devil’s tools eat away at us and cause us to go in a direction, down a path, that is far from God.

They either don’t believe at all, have never heard nor understood the word of God or something has happened in their lives to take them away His Word. As we have talked about many times here at our Church, we know what this and, deep ...read more

What You Have Defines Your Worth Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Jul 14, 2025

The world says your value is measured by what you own—status, wealth, and accomplishments. But God says your worth is found in who you are (your character) and whose you are (your identity in Christ). We are not defined by what we accumulate, but by our foundation in Him.
