Identity Theft (2 of 3)
Series: Into the Enemy's Camp
Jeff Ecklund
1 Samuel 17:38-40
Over 60 million Americans have suffered identity theft, 15 million alone in 2017.
The United States experiences 70% of the identity theft in the world.

Natural facts seem to mirror the spiritual ones.
Every 79 seconds someone is a victim of Identity theft.
John 10:10 (ESV)
