    based on 86 ratings
     | 6,810 views

    Nadab & Abihu serve as examples of what happens when we trivialize God and begin to live as if God doesn’t matter. Thank God for the grace that saves us from the consequences of our sin.

Some are probably thinking “Nadab & Abi-who?” The Hebrews had just been led out of Egypt. They had followed ...read more

    Step Two - The Power To Resist Series

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Jun 18, 2001
    based on 36 ratings
     | 8,556 views

    Submission to God is the key and reshaping our desires is the result. Then, instead of fighting off what we desire, we are able to pursue our desires.

    Step Two - The Power to Resist Resistance is Futile This may sound odd at first glance, but resistance is not the key to resisting. The Bible gives the key to resisting temptation in James 4: 6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." 7 ...read more
