Hello everyone. After working on it for several days, I am happy to announce the release of a major update to my 1998 article entitled "Exposing the Tactics of the Enemy!". This article has now been expanded into a four-part series, and includes a lot of new commentary, dozens of new KJV Bible verses, a new article header image and better formatting as well.
This four-part series exposes the tactics of our enemy -- Satan -- and how he uses his human emissaries to try to divide and conquer the sheep in the Lord's flocks. This includes discussions regarding unrepentant brethren, and how to deal with doctrinal error in our midst, and a lot more.
If you are a shepherd of one of the Lord's flocks -- whether it is in a church, in a home fellowship, on a mailing list, on a message forum, on Facebook or on some other social network, on a blog, or anywhere else -- I encourage you to consider reading this series. You may benefit from it.
To access this article, simply click on one of the blue full title links that you see in this post.
As usual, below is my synopsis of each of the four parts.
