Ephesians 4:27 tells us, “Neither give place to the devil.”
It starts with a text message, a glance, smile, kind word or “prayer request”. It begins all too innocent and ends up with devastating results. Marriage is lost, testimony is ruined and the kids destroyed. A man or woman giving place [...]

Information Packets
