These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ. But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. ~2 Corinthians 11:13-15

4 Facts About Troublemakers I.They are masters of deception. II. They are dangerous. III. They are evil. IV. They love power. “Life for the wolves is death for the lambs.” ~ Isaiah Berlin
