veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. (2 Corinthians 4:3-4)

weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)

been a Christian for various chapters and backslid again and again. I've been into new age philosophy, astrology, studied psychology and Buddhism and have read nearly every self help book under the sun, but thanks to my brother and pastor Paul Hemming I have committed my life going forward to Christ.”(Kate Richards- Facebook post)
