    They have been here and many people who lived before us didn’t know. They are here now attacking us and many of us don’t recognize it. We are in a war. But we are often unaware. We could call it, not the War of the Worlds, but the War of the Words.

    I remember a time when I was hit hard with criticism. Three times in a row. A letter. A phone call. A conversation. Three punches to the gut. I heard things like: “You’re not honoring God. You’re just trying to entertain people. You’re too tolerant. You don’t give seasoned Christians ...read more

    The temptations that Jesus faced in the wilderness present a pattern that Satan has used since the creation of man. He had a nearly perfect plan to get even with God, but it failed at Calvary.

    Satan’s Nearly Perfect Plan By Pastor Jim May There’s an old saying that goes like this: “Even the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” Things just don’t always work out the way we plan them to. Satan’s plan to overcome man was perfect. He knew that if he could just get Adam to ...read more

    Temptation is as old as mankind, seen first in the Prototype in the Garden of Eden when the First Adam fell, but the Second Adam was Triumphant in the Wilderness from which we can be forearmed to meet Satan’s temptations.

The Bible gives us no explanation as to the ultimate origin of evil but is undoubtedly connected with the devil. When we open the pages of Scripture he already existed. The ...read more
