Of course that would be the devil. Jesus said to the Pharisees in John 8:44, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a […]
Most people reading these words live in America, the land of the “free.” It is also a land governed by law. The law may seem to restrict us at times, but it is meant for our good. It ensures freedom for all. It is a great plan until it falls into the hands of evil
While driving along Highway 395, south of Spokane, I noticed a small sign. Someone had roughly painted on a little board the words “Hell is hot,” and nailed it on a tree. Being a Christian, preacher, and Bible reader, I knew Hell was hot. However, as I drove along I searched my soul. I don’t
