    As followers of Jesus should living in the last days cause us to become more fearful or more loving, more selfish or more selfless. It all depends on Looking and Listening.

    based on 4 ratings

    The Sword of the Spirit is the personal and precise words of Jesus to us. It is the gospel but it is more. It is part of the living words that Jesus speaks to us as we abide and listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd.

    Intro: Have you ever heard, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me?” Maybe the devil was the one who coined this phrase. You and I both know the power that words have. What we are going to find in Spiritual warfare the only thing that will harm the ...read more

    Today’s Scripture readings offer a number of challenges and difficulties to the Christian. On the face of it, it appears that Jesus is applauding a dishonest steward’s actions in cheating his employer. Worse, He seems to be telling His disciples that the ends justify the means. Of ...read more

    In September of 2005 John Roberts went before the Senate Judiciary Committee to be examined to see if he was qualified to serve on the Supreme Court as the Chief Justice.

    Many liked the comparison he made with being a judge to being an umpire in a baseball game. He stated that he felt that as a judge, he is not a player of the game, but it is his job to call the FOULS and STRIKES! All the evidence indicates that he will make a good chief justice. But that can not ...read more
