I Hate To Say, 'i Told You So,' But... Series

Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Sep 12, 2013

Since the day God promised Satan's head would be crushed, God has been weaving together His plan for over-coming the power and forces of evil.

Contributed by Bill Butsko on Apr 23, 2010

We are no different than Peter who denied knowing Jesus three times.
