Sex-Wise: Captivated Or Captive?

Contributed by John Beukema on May 1, 2013

Dealing with our sexual lives is an issue at any age and life-stage. God made us as sexual beings, and how we behave sexually is a spiritual issue.

The last time I did a series on sex was over 5 years ago. If you are married, and can count the number of times you’ve had sex since then, there might be a problem. If you aren’t married and can’t count the number of times you’ve had sex since then, there might be a problem. ...read more

If You Can Compare You Can Declare Series

Contributed by Michael Karpf on Nov 16, 2012

God is incomparable with everything and anyone, and He cannot be likened to our images of Him. He is God we are not, therefore we need to bow everything in submission to Him, and instead of declaring healing or blessing, pray that His will be done.
