THE CROSS
The Son sets us free by becoming a curse for us and thereby removing the curse from us, by taking all our guilt on Himself thereby clearing us of guilt, and by "binding the Strongman" through His death, thereby setting us free from Satan's kingdom. Oh, what a cross!

When one receives Christ,it is said that he has "eternal life." We must understand that this is far more than just living forever. It is to have living within you the divine life of God Himself. The truth is, the born again child of God will live as long as God lives for God lives within him. That

“He has called me, and I am His bondslave, His servant, His prisoner, and you are to live as the prisoners of Jesus Christ. ‘Ye are not your own; ye are bought with a price’ (I Cor 6:19-20). We have no right to live as we choose and as we please. We were the prisoners of Satan; we are now the

John Wesley writes of his time: "Almost as soon as I was gone, two or three began to take their imaginations for impressions from God. Meantime, a flood of reproach came upon me almost from every quarter. Be not alarmed that Satan sows tares among the wheat of Christ.

Somewhere recently I read of a tribe of natives in a South American jungle who learned that the leaves of certain trees would give them extra energy and strength and would keep them from getting hungry. So they began to eat them regularly. They seemed strong, energetic and seldom got hungry. A few

A horrifying event took place in San Fran last week. A tiger escaped and mauled one man to death and seriously injured two others. They are not yet sure how the tiger got loose. But some of the evidence suggests the wall was too low and the victims were taunting the tiger.

Sharing our faith is full-time employment…. So many think that it’s a Sunday morning, 9:30-2:00 job and maybe an hour or two on Wednesday nights… But the Bible lets us know “that Satan the adversary is roaming to and fro as a lion seeking whom he may devour…” And if you know anything about lions,

PRAYING FOR THEM FOR YEARS
David Stone is a preacher I know, and his mother changed my prayers for my children. She says that from day one she prayed that God would just surround them with an envelope of protection from Satan. But... she also prayed from day one for the girl that one day Dave

1 From strength to strength we sometimes go, then again we're sinking low,
In the shadow of a mountain looming high above our heads.
We need not fear what lies ahead for the Word has clearly said,
That our faith would be sufficient to make the mountain disappear.
