QUESTION: Who are our enemies? - April 18, 2021
ANSWER: An enemy is everyone who opposes those who trust in God and do things described in Psalm 56:5-6:
1. They twist my words - by changing the meaning of the words after they are used, lawyers can make an innocent conversation sound evil. Politicians & some preachers can make good words become wrong (Jude 4; 2 Peter 3:16)

ANSWER: The wisdom of Proverbs cannot be surpassed: Proverbs 10:24-25; Proverbs 28:1; Proverbs 29:25.

Therefore they cannot assume anyone else lives honourably. A guilty conscience makes one…

Satisfaction with wha…
