I recently heard someone say that Satan desires to destroy the innocence of children. This reality weighs on my soul and more so now that I have three small children of my own. I investigated what Jesus said about this which lead to this rich discovery.
This is the last part in a five-part series on the first several chapters of 1 Samuel. I thought I knew how this was going to end, but the Holy Spirit concluded this study with an interesting revelation that confirmed the original purpose of True Vine Life.

The first several chapters of 1 Samuel provide a relevant picture of the Western church in the year 2016. In part 4 of this series, God fights for Himself and a look into Israel's foreign gods reveals another parallel with the current church environment.
