“Satan is the sower of compromise—leaving a bit of God’s truth into the dirty rags of sin. Satan is the commander in deceit, Satan is the ringleader in rebellion against the faithful.
Satan is the sly serpent of temptation.

Satan is the great pretender.
Satan is the great spoiler of everything good.
And Satan wants to destroy you.”
