Satan has a way of disguising false teachings to make it sound and look good.

You have to choose . . . You can’t have both.

I Corinthians 10:21 (KJV) – ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.

Give . . . and it will be given back to you more than you anticipated.

If you’re praying to God with the wrong motive, He won’t hear you.

We sin without knowing and we sin on purpose.

Your sin separates you from God.

If God called you to do something, He doesn’t leave it up to you to do it.

He is faithful and will do it through you.

If He said it, He’ll do it.

No matter how many times you’ve fallen, ask God for forgiveness and He’ll forgive you.

He never said how many times.

Our forgiveness is unlimited.

Our sins destroy us.

But thank God, He does not give us what we deserve.

He gives us mercy.
