Satan’s Limitations: Satan Is Not Omniscient, Satan Is Not Eternal Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Sep 12, 2022

Satan’s Limitations: Satan Is Not Omnipotent Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Sep 12, 2022

Satan’s Hindrance Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Paul was no pessimist. He was hindered by Satan, but he never sat down and gave up. He didn’t get to do what he wanted, but Paul rejoiced in spite of his frustration because in spite of the hindrance he had perfect confidence that ultimate victory would be his.

Children are constantly coming up with that profound argument that they feel is an infallible guide to what ought to be-“But I wanna.” I remember explaining to Steven one time that we don’t always get to do what we want, and Cindy felt that was good advice.
