Satan's onslaught against the Word of God is constant.

The devil is constantly trying to thwart God's plans by tainting His scripture and twisting our thoughts.

The devil is not a creator. He is very good at perverting things, but he never creates new material. He can only use God’s material. - Daniel Heimbach

It takes a supernatural power to be kind.

Live a life that is pleasing to God
