    We need to tell Satan to get out of our lives when he is there trying to tempt us because we are doing Christ’s will for our lives.

    Get Behind Me Satan Out of all of the disciples, I think I like Peter the best. He reminds me a lot of myself. Peter always had good intentions, but his mouth was always getting him in trouble with Jesus. I am the same way. I speak before I think and end up sticking my foot in my mouth. ...read more

    What is the value of your soul? What is the worth of your eternal destiny? Challenge to answer the clarion call, the ultimate question of materialism, "what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

    *On the market, what is a fair exchange for your eternal soul? — one month, lifetime, night, moment of sinful pleasure The absurdity and audacity of the Lord to ask such a question. Who would do such a moronic thing as to exchange his soul? Yet the universality of its application is clear. ...read more
