Memorable Quotes

Evil is not just a politician or a road accident or a tax bill. Evil has a supernatural origin in our world.

Don’t subcontract spiritual warfare to somebody else. Take responsibility in your own home, in your own marriage, in your own life for cleaning out and closing those doorways where Satan can enter.
