Eve is strolling through the beautiful Garden of Eden when she is surprised by a talking snake. “Hey, how ya doing?” “Fine.” “What ya doin?” “Oh, Adam and I are just walking around … taking in the beauty of God’s creation.” “Oh, yeah?

Because as a believer in Jesus Christ, victory is your spiritual birth-right. Now we live in a day that we ...read more
