The Ten | Week 10 - Do Not Lie

READ John 8:44

​

You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth
in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of
lies
