    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 12, 2020
     | 3,401 views

    What are you expecting God to do in your life? Are you praying small prayers because you think God is too busy? Are you dreaming little dreams because you're not sure He can handle the big ones?

    Listen to me friend, ‘accusation’ is the devil’s strategy to sabotage our vision and cripple us; but we got to be overcomers. Hurray!

    Accuse you Luke 6:7 “The scribes and the Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He healed on the Sabbath, so that they might find reason to accuse Him.” Jesus was focused on doing good, healing the sick and driving out demons but the wicked Pharisees were focused on finding reason to ...read more

     | 589 views

    Ever wished you could have prevented a great tragedy? Just as there are great physical tragedies with lasting consequence, so there are great spiritual tragedies with eternal consequence. The Apostle Paul seeks to prevent a great spiritual tragedy in the fledgling church at Corinth, Greece.

    We look at the fifth test that proves if one really knows God. Are we guarding against antichrists?

    As we look at the seven tests that prove if we really know God we can get a little lost as I try to explain them. Kind of like the time when the husband stayed home while his wife went to church. When she got back he asked her what the preacher preached about. She said, “I don’t ...read more
