    The Babylonians tried to erase the identities of Daniel and his 3 friends from being believers in Jehovah. The world is trying to do that to Christians today. Young people must be instructed and equipped to stand for their faith like Daniel did.

Dan. 1:8-17 INTRODUCTION 8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way….10 but the official told Daniel, “The king would then have my head because of you.” 11 Daniel then ...read more

    IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS (Part 2) If you and I are to keep from being embarrassed at Christmas, we need to learn to give in the same way God has given to us. Selfless giving follows God’s example. God hasn’t given us anything waiting

     | 378 views

    Many people are suffering from what has been identified as a global mental health issue. The cause was attributed to psychological issues, but there is more. The real issue is much more spiritual.

    It is time to demolish the devil's stronghold in our minds. The Scriptures refer to fortified places as strongholds. In my opinion, an enemy's stronghold is the place where they feel most powerful in a person's life. The most common stronghold where Satan continues to gain security ...read more

    Hate is a mental condition that harms the mind, body and spirit, which if allowed to remain will also destroy our relationship with God.

    Introduction The Hatfield and McCoy feud was recently on TV; this is one of the saddest things I have ever watched.
