Surrender It

Contributed by Jim Twamley on Mar 25, 2003

Most Christians are on their guard for obvious temptations. So the Devil doesn’t need to tempt you with the big sins. No, he is more subtle than that. He is crafty and sneaks up on you. He doesn’t just call you over to the trap and push you in. No, he lea

Black Gold, Texas Tea

Contributed by Paul Hammons on Mar 19, 2007

Eating Dinner With Jesus

Gifts Unlimited Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Paul does not give us a listing of the gifts that is exhaustive. His list is only suggestive. Every time he writes of the gifts he mentions new ones. He is not dealing with a fixed number because he knows the Holy Spirit well enough to know that you cannot catch him in a list and limit him.
