Many people feel that to acknowledge angels somehow demeans God or is against what the Bible says. NOT SO!

The Bible - both the Old and New testaments - are full of references to angels.

The next time someone tells you that angels aren't real, or that my acknowledging angels in your life is blasphemous... feel free to use any of these scriptures to lovingly change their opinion.
