The Devil is in the Details

Image
        One time Satan held a conference in order to devise some effective method to harm the Lord's work on earth. One demon suggested, "Let us go down and persuade men that there is no God." This, however, was rejected by the majority who stated that it was impossible for any intelligent man not to believe in the existence of God. How could they persuade men of the non-existence of God when they themselves believed that there is a God? Another demon proposed that they should tell the people that Jesus Christ never really existed.

Building for Eternity

                                                                                Right in the heart of Italy’s capital, you can gaze upon ruins from the time of the ancient Roman Empires . The Romans wanted their greatness to be etched into human history forever. Therefore, they constructed buildings designed to tell future generations how great the Romans were. Although the gold, silver, and precious stones that once adorned these stony buildings have since been stripped away, scores of these structures remain intact. And just as the original builders intended, they tell us about the glory of the Romans. However, there was another side of Rome. There was massive importation of slaves to do manual labor. The homes of the slaves were constructed quickly an...
