The greatest compliment the devil has ever paid to Christianity is the fact that he tries to counterfeit it, because no man would ever counterfeit anything that was of no value. The higher the value, the more likelihood it will be counterfeited. I dare say that no one here this morning has seen a counterfeit penny, or a counterfei ...
