“accomplishing Victory Through Prayer!” Series

Contributed by Gerry Cheney on Dec 29, 2015

Spiritual warfare starts by using scripture as the foundation of your prayers. This results in confidence, and praying with the authority. We also must learn to incorporate worship and praise in our prayer times.

Who Is Better?

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 29, 2011

It is human nature to compare ourselves to one another. We do it all of the time very naturally and almost without noticing it. That's what was happening in Corinth and it was giving the Corinthians a false impression about who to trust.

There is an old saying “appearances can be deceiving.” Or: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” In the case of the Corinthians, those sayings apply very well. They fell into a trap that many of us fall prey to, using human senses to judge spiritual realities. In this ...read more

Are The Ministry Gifts And Calling Of God Without Repentance?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 13, 2019

There is a belief in the church today that a person called to minister can still be effectual in reaching others for the sake of the Gospel because “the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” (Rom 11:29 KJV).

In other words, a person can be in active and open unholy living and in rebellion to God’s law and still retain their position to be used to bless others without changing their sinful ways through repentance. It is true that God can use anything to promote His kingdom. He even used a donkey to get ...read more
