    Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 15, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,366 views

    Like the wind, God can be heard but not seen. He is constantly speaking, both to the Creation which He made by His Word and to people.

    The Wind JOHN 3:8 “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” The word spirit in both Hebrew and Greek means “breath” or “wind.” Both a breath of ...read more

    Jesus Comes To Us

    Contributed by Kimberly Belken on Aug 9, 2020

    In the familiar story of Jesus walking on the water, we find good news in the fact that it is Jesus who is the key actor and Lord of all.

    Psychologists tell us that when we are presented with an event that is perceived as stressful or frightening, we tend to behave in one of two ways—fight or flight. That means that we either tend to gird our loins (to use a Biblical phrase), stare down, and attack that which is scaring us OR we run ...read more

    Weapons For Offense

    Contributed by Steve Smith on Mar 30, 2010
    based on 9 ratings
     | 18,321 views

    After encouraging believers with different defensive weapons for "spiritual warfare", Paul gives two weapons that together give the believer weapons for "hand to hand" combat. Both however, only work through the power and connection of the Spirit.

    A. Quote: Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones wrote this about our spiritual battle: A man who does not understand the nature of the problem he is confronting is a man who is already doomed to failure. Christian people are like first-year college students—they think at first that every subject is quite ...read more
