This Kind...

Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 15, 2021

Christians are at war with an unseen, though extremely powerful, enemy. We are, however, not defenseless. We are given authority over the enemy, if we will invoke our rights given in Christ.

Perspectives, Priorities And Personal Choices

Our priorities – what we place as of utmost importance in our lives (and, often, in our world). Our personal choices – what we hang to, ...read more
