Ho-Hum

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Apr 2, 2006

We are lost in the swamp of compromise, because: 1. We value security over significance. 2. We value what is easy over what takes effort. 3. We value the material over the spiritual. 4. We value mediocrity over excellence.

Trickery Of Satan - The Doctrine Of Balaam

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jul 5, 2020

The way of Balaam is the trickery of the devil even today. What he cannot do by cursing and fighting from the outside, he tries to do from the inside. Satan knows that he cannot stop God from blessing His people. So he tries all means to prevent those blessings from reaching us.

Who is this Balaam? Balaam was a ...read more

I Won't Complain Any More!

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 26, 2020
