    Satan, our enemy, is a roaring lion seeking to devour us... but his point of attack is the mind. His attack is like the Japanese at Pearl Harbor... stealth.

    The Battlefield 1 Peter 5:8 It was a picture-perfect, postcard morning. Light northeast trade winds played over the peaceful South Pacific harbor as an armada of cumulus clouds sailed proudly overhead. The U.S. sailors stationed there yawned and stretched to greet the lazy Sunday morning. This ...read more

    God says we’re to keep ourselves pure. To be pure means to be unmixed with any other matter, to be free anything that taints. God expects us to be holy – separated from anything that defiles. We’re to be like Him. We need pure minds, hands, and hearts.

    Purity 1 Timothy 5:22 God says we are to keep ourselves pure. To be pure means to be unmixed with any other matter, to be free anything that would taint.

    Beloved, the Bible talks about the sower who in his assignment had some of his seeds fall on good ground and yielded bountifully while some fell on barren land and therefore yielded nothing. God wants to profit with us hence His investing in our lives.

    Let us pray: Father, we pray that Your power will descend on us and empty us of everything known as self and drain out every unbrokenness out of our spirits, so that Your word can have root in our lives, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Beloved, the Bible talks about the sower who in his ...read more

    Are we so blinded by our church buildings and our rituals that we don’t see God? Are we blinded by the world’s sinfulness? Are we noble like the Bereans, studying our Bibles daily to see what God says?

    Prelude Are we so blinded by our church buildings and our rituals that we don’t see God? Are we blinded by the world’s sinfulness? Are we noble like the Bereans, studying our Bibles daily to see what God says? What defiles us? Let’s look at Matthew 15:10-20 and see what Jesus has to say about ...read more

    Interpreting The Facts Series

    If we want to interpret life and the decisions of life reasonably, we need to develop the Biblical virtue of wisdom, a wisdom that comes from adjusting to God's Word.

    Interpreting the Facts (Numbers 13:1-33) 1. Joe Friday: "Just the facts, mam." 2. A lot of what is presented as facts are really interpretations of fact. When we are taught interpretations of facts as actual facts, we become biased and blind to the difference between what we have been told and ...read more

    What does God have to do to get your attention?

    This is the most distracted we have ever been as a people. There are things happening all around us that cause us to stop one thing to deal with another. We have a cell phone in one hand and a steering wheel in the other, while we wave at the person as we pass by. There are signs everywhere that ...read more

    Peace of mind comes to those who think obediently. Paul gives us great instruction here and promises that the God of peace will be with us as we practice Christian thinking and doing.

    Can you control your thoughts? Not that you have absolute and total charge over everything that goes on in your mind, but, can you decide to think about something if asked? If you can’t, we need to get help for you. Perhaps I should start all over and ask how much control do you have over your ...read more

    Resurrection Living can be realized through a conscious habitual pattern of thought in the mind and an attitude in heart. The victory of Christ’s resurrection enables Resurrection Living.

    COLOSSIANS 3: 1-4 / Christ Above All Series RESURRECTION LIVING The Resurrection is regarded in Scripture in three aspects- as a fact establishing our Lord’s messiahship, as a prophecy of the believer’s rising from the dead, and as an enabling for the Christian life here and now. ...read more

    Life change starts with the renewing of our mind. We need to (1) watch what we feed our mind, and (2) not quench the Spirit (1 Thess 5:19) when He prompts, reminds and guides us with the Word of God.

    Last week, we talked about surrendering to God because we believe that God has our best in mind. • When we honestly confess our willingness to submit to Him as Lord, He steps in and guides us in ways we do not expect and we will experience His greatest blessings. • We believe it ...read more

    God’s strikingly positive principals for how we can live and think as Christians.

    Today we’re looking at a wonderfully positive passage of Scripture written by a man who, apart from his relationship with Jesus, had every reason not to rejoice, every reason to be anxious. The author of this passage, the Apostle Paul, lived as a hunted man. Having initially come on the scene as ...read more

    Last week we presented thoughts on making the most of our opportunities, redeeming the time because it is our purpose to be imitators of God in these uncertain times. Perhaps the greatest obstacle in redeeming our time for God is found in the realm of mind control. Who controls your mind?
