Witchcraft is Idolatry While most witches do not worship Satan, they do revere the earth and the elements - all created by God - rather than reverencing God himself.  Witchcraft is founded in idolatry, proclaiming, “I am the god/goddess.”  From the website, witchesofthecraft.com, we fi[...]

The Danger of Demon Possession The most dangerous trap of all is demon possession.  Jesus speaks of the condition of a demon possessed person: Matthew 12:43-45 (NKJV) “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.  Then he says, [...]
