    Marc Anthony is quoted as saying, "I can resist everything except temptation." Can you relate to that? Temptation is an everyday challenge Christians are faced with. Paul knew this struggle and he transparently elaborated on that in Romans 7:14-25.

    The 5 Devices Of The Devil

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 24, 2019
     | 15,128 views

    There are five methods or devices the devil employs to tempt, hinder, discourage or bring down the believer. He renames sin, attacks our strengths, uses people, pretends defeat, and uses procrastination. God wants us to use all the means of grace at our disposal.

    Three Root Sins

     | 3,663 views

    Both Eve and Jesus were tempted just as we are. They were tempted by Satan, who used the three root sins.

    There are many sins, but they all come from three “root sins”…three heart problems. All that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1John 2:16 Three Root Sins —the lust of the flesh —the lust of the ...read more

     | 1,091 views

    The heart of this stanza in the Lord’s Prayer is the distrust of the self. And because I don’t trust myself, I rush into the presence of God as my refuge from temptation.

    The Sifting Work Of Satan

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Mar 8, 2025

    You are on Satan's sifting list. Every believer must pass through the sifting process as God gives the devil permission to test his children.

    Our battle against the devil is a spiritual battle, but God equips us with what we need. God strengthens us as we make use of the resources He has already provided us that Paul calls the full armor of God.

    We have several in our church family that have served our country in the military. For all of you that have served, you know how important it is to be trained for battle.

    While the people of the world live without God every day, what would it be like for a Christian to live without God? Solomon gives us the answer from the book of Ecclesiastes.

    I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home. I can’t imagine what life would be like without God. But there was a man in history who chose to live his life without God. He was the wisest man who ever lived, yet he did the most foolish thing in the world. Solomon. What would life be like without ...read more
