Nor are we sure what that kind of love is supposed to look like.

Having every one of us been in bondage to sin, we readily believe that sinful things are Satanic; but do we believe equally that the things of the world are Satanic? Many of us, I think, are still in two minds about this. Yet how clearly Scripture affirms that "the whole world lieth in the evil one" (1 John 5:19). Satan well knows that, generally speaking, to try to ensnare real Christians through things that are positively sinful is vain and futile.

GOD’S promises for you Too often, when situations of life push us against the wall, it’s easy to focus on ourselves and our difficulties rather than resting on the unfailing word of God. However, the Bible is replete with diverse promises from God and a reminder that He is faithful. Scripture says in Numbers 23:19, “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not, do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” In other words, nothing can change His promises concerning you. Through this inspiring book, ...
