    Paul faced numerous challenges and spiritual battles. Despite the relentless attacks from hell, he remained steadfast, tearing down strongholds and liberating the oppressed. His story is a testament to enduring faith and resilience, reminding us that we too can stand strong amidst trials.

    One of the things I really love about the Bible is when it gives us a deep look into the lives of its characters. One person who captures my attention is the Apostle Paul.

    Peace is not merely the absence of activity or hostility, nor is it just getting away from reality. Peace can be described as both the freedom from disturbance as well as an inward sense of well-being.

    In the world today people call for peace. They paint signs, write letters, drop bombs, and murder trouble makers, all in the name of peace. As I’m sure you all know the Bible tells us there will be no peace, and here are some stats to prove it. According to the Society of International Law in ...read more

    The lesson from these parables is that Jesus DOES give up on some people, and that only seeing it in this way is there any good news. If you think the message of these stories is that God never gives up on anyone, I suggest you have gotten it backwards.
