    The helmet is a metaphor for protecting the mind. The Apostle Paul wants us to guard our thoughts. If the devil can tamper with our thoughts, he can meddle with our lives. How we perceive Christ and His teachings affects all of life.

One of the Marines was struck in the head and the bullet bounced off his Kevlar helmet. He assured his fellow Marines he was unhurt except for some ringing in his ears, and they ...read more

    You and I have incurred an overwhelming debt that is a million times greater than any financial debt that we ever have had or could acquire. It is a debt that none of us will ever be able to pay. A debt that only grace could pay.

Years ago, we often heard about churches and their strategies to win their city to Christ. Ill: Today, it is rare to ever hear anyone talk about it or see a church strategize to do it. ...read more

    Life — including the Christian life — is best lived in a context of reasonable discipline and solid instruction. Balanced discipline and love are not adversarial, they are joined at the hip.

    We are presented with two choices: so accept God as our Father, or to affiliate with the father of lies.

    Let us pray. Heavenly Father, you have chosen the weak things of this world to shame the strong: send your Holy Spirit to enliven my words, and to open our ears, that your Word may fall as seed upon good ground, prepared for planting and ready to yield a good fruit; we ask this in the Name of the ...read more
