We can learn a great deal about how the devil attacks and destroys the faith of a believer from observing the tactics displayed in natural warfare. Just as it was in Israel two days ago, when the rocket attack signaled the beginning of a much larger planned attack,...
We are having a succession of events that could resemble a news headline with the title, “The Day After” - The Day After 9/11 - The Day After Paris - The Day After San Bernardino - The Day After Dallas and now, The Day After Nice. Each act of terror and violence puts...
