March Grapevine

“Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, ‘Did God actually say…?'” (Genesis 3:1)


These are the first recorded words of Satan in the Bible. Right from the start, our enemy has tried to cast doubt on the trustworthiness of God and His Word. This tactic of the devil has not changed. He does the same thing now. However, let us remember what the Lord Jesus said about Satan in John 8:44…”When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” When Jesus met the enemy face to face in the desert, He simply quoted Scripture to him, saying three times, “It is written…(Mathew 4:1 – 11).


Let us, also, take our stand upon the inerrant and infallible Word of God.
Pastor Russ
