    I used to be skeptical of the view that satan was the Prince of this world. I thought it could be a nice place but with the election of donald trump to the presidency for the second time, it’s clear to me that the devil has quite an active role over us.

  • Valuable Sermon Preparation

    Please release the podcast earlier than late on Tuesdays. I am so glad this podcast is available! My only wish is that it launched on Monday mornings. Updated review: Having Dr. Paulson right there in my office as I prepare for preaching is a great gift. My only wish for this podcast is that it be released earlier in the week, even early Tuesday morning would be better. Please consider this for those utilizing this resource for sermon preparation.
