The Best Liar Ever “…He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” John 8:44, NKJV For centuries, satan has tricked all of us at one time or another.
