Jesus used scripture to resist Satan's temptation, so I decided to make some flashcards, to help me resist the lies that often get me to sin.

Note - If it has an * in front of it, I used that same answer somewhere else.

Also, I put a printable version in the Special Notes (formatted as double-sided flashcards).
