Be careful that you haven’t made Satan into a deity. He isn’t a God. He isn’t omnipotent, omniscient, etc. He can’t hear your thoughts. He can’t read your mind. He isn’t everywhere. He isn’t God’s equal or even a worthy opponent. About 5 years ago, I realized that the enemy had a position in myContinue reading “Eyes Fixed on Him”

Imperfect Love
I keep seeing this quote that says, “The Bible says that love never fails, so if it fails, it wasn’t love.” And it is so inaccurate. There are many types of love.
