    Masturbation, The Spiritual Battle Against The Flesh

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on May 24, 2024
     | 3,609 views

    Some say that the Bible does not mention masturbation or self-gratification or “solo sex,” as it’s sometimes called. They say that it is silent on the subject and that the Bible does not state whether or not masturbation is a sin.

He then offered up, “Why is masturbation classed as a sin?” “I’m on Christian sites where people are saying that it’s all wrong and that you shouldn’t being stuff like that but surely God wants us to love either with a partner or ourself.” ...read more

    When Your Soul Talks Back

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 91 views

    When your soul talks back with despair, answer it with Spirit-filled faith — stir up the gift and praise your God again.

    There are moments in life when faith feels like it’s lost its soundtrack. You still know the words, you still come to church, you still bow your head for prayer — but inside, something has gone quiet. You’re mouthing the lines of faith, yet your soul isn’t singing along. That’s what Psalm 42 feels ...read more
