Join myself and others as we engage in a discussion, " Know Your Enemy." Today more than ever we really need to pay attention to what is going on in our world. One need not to be paranoid however we must pay attention to what is going on around us. Do you know your enemy? How do you identify an enemy? Many Christian sourses refer to the world, the flesh and the devil as being an enemy. However what does that really mean? 

As a Believer what did Jesus mean by "Love your enemies?" It seems today that it is very difficult to know who you can trust. Many are being betrayed most often by individuals they thought they could trust. Question is what do you do in such a situation. When one treat another unfairly does that mean that such is an enemy? How about the saying, " If you are not for me you must be against me?" I want to hear your thoughts live 7/6/21 at 11:30am Pacific. To join in on the conversation call 516 387-1914.
