    SECRET SIN One of Satan's biggest lies is that there are some sins that God does not either care about or know about (David Scudder). Not only does God know about our secret sins, but sooner or later, one way or the other, ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,742 views

    Most believe God is not mocked is primarily speaking to non-believers, who choose not to listen to God's will. However, there is more to God is not mocked that really speaks to us believers than we realize.
