    Do demons exist? And if they do, what do we know about them and how can we deal with them?

Then he became a Christian, and spent much of his life explaining that a lot of seances he’d been part of (he said) were fake… but ...read more

    The Ministry Of Reconciliation: Your Life Mission Defined

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 23, 2021
     | 2,237 views

    What is given to us, as regenerate believers is what the word of God calls "the ministry of reconciliation." This is a mission set to consume our lives. We must do it, because the word of God says "It's as if God were making his appeal through us."

    The word of God says, 2nd Corinthians 5:11-21 (NIV) "Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. 12 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an ...read more

     | 2,076 views

     | 6,333 views

    Luke says we're to be "servants" of the Word, not be critics of it or think we're over it. WHY? Because the Word of God is Divine/Eternal, because it's superior to us, and because it is the final authority. The Bible is the embodiment of knowledge and truth.

    SERVANTS OF THE WORD Luke 1:1-4 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW THE BIBLE 1. Did you hear the story about the lady who was talking to her friend and brought up the Bible.
