Beware of Satan’s Devices
Satan did not lose any time in creating problems for the Church immediately after the Feast of Tabernacles. A vehicle accident south of Las Vegas had two Church members trapped in traffic for several hours, delaying their arrival home for a considerable amount of time. Others going south took some alternate routes, causing major delays in their arrival times also. Thankfully, even though I had to go to Las Vegas for my flight, the accident was south of the city and I was not affected by it.

A few days after arrival, I had to replace a fridge and had issues with a rocking chair, and recently winds in Southern California caused structural damage to a member’s shed and another suffered damage to lawn furniture.

A woman should not be in such a ministerial capacity. Of course, with the mind of men – and women – wriggling around this clear instruction has become an art form. Paul’s writings do not lend any support whatsoever to the aspirations of the modern feminist movement in their pursuit of invading the territory that God has given to men.
