***The previous truths about Satan are probably why the Apostle Paul put truth as the first thing to think
about and the first piece of spiritual armor to frequently put on. The other things in the following two

***What are you conclusions about truth? What were the new aspects of truth that you learned? How
should you share God’s wonderful truths? In what ways should you not share truth? What is
tactfulness? Changes which are influenced by reasoning (either by the speaker or by the reader) most
likely will be forever, while forced or heavily influenced changes (by parents and popular speakers) will
not last very long.
