     | 2,754 views

    We are all fallen creatures and although we praise and thank God that we have been saved by grace through faith in Christ.. have been made a new creation in Him and have been given His resurrected life - our old, fleshly nature battle against our new life in Christ.

    The seduction of Mr. Simple Proverbs 7:1-27 The book of proverbs is a collection of wise words regarding morality and right versus wrong. Proverbs is largely concerned with the inevitability of God's justice and the importance of prudence. Solomon's proverbs maintain that wicked deeds ...read more

    Tough And Tender Love

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jul 18, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,205 views

    God’s love is tender, but it’s also tough. God is a God of justice as well as a God of mercy, and it’s from both that God deals with His people. In Zephaniah’s prophecy, we see both sides of God’s love, the toughness in judgment, and tenderness in His mercy.

    Seven Spiritual Gifts In The Body Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 15, 2024
     | 490 views

    I have a body with hands, shoulders, feet, knees, eyes, ears, and all sorts of different parts. They do not all have the same function, do they? My feet do very different things from my hands. Yet they are all part of my body. They work together, not against each other.

    When examining the human body, there are numerous systems all working at the same time to regulate, protect, strengthen, and heal the human body. There is the respiratory system which brings oxygen into the body and expels carbon dioxide. The brain communicates instructions to the rest of the body. ...read more
