    Paul's exhortation deals with those of us who are saved. He is speaking to the body of Christ. Therefore, when he spoke in regards to the matter of ‘STRONGHOLDS,’ he was speaking of an area that encompasses every one of us as God’s people.

     | 15,922 views

    Everyone acknowledges that a bad attitude stinks. We don’t even need to discuss about how and why to have a sick attitude … it comes so natural because naturally we are born with it … though we are born in sin but we have a choice to choose our attitude.

    What Is The Mistake That Leads Toward The Unforgiveable Sin?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 5, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,661 views

    A look at the unforgiveable sin. I think the distinction that I share about why criticism of Jesus is acceptable but of the Holy Spirit is not will be helpful in getting to the heart of what Jesus is trying to convey.

The versions in Matthew 12:22-32 and Mark ...read more
