    Messages discusses how and why we need to guard our eyes in today's culture.

    The key to surviving temptation involves guarding our eyes with all diligence. In Matthew 18:9, Jesus said if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out! Seems rather drastic but it makes the point. No we are not saying pluck out your eyes but we are saying do what's necessary to avoid/shun evil. You ...read more

Ye are my witnesses, verse 27 So, in John 15, we have four titles, four descriptions of us who follow Christ. We are branches, we are ...read more
