    Amnesty (from the Greek word amnesia, oblivion) is a legislative or executive act by which a state restores those who may have been guilty of an offense against it to the positions of innocent persons. It includes more than pardon, in as much as it oblite

    Will Of Man

    We must learn to use our will as an offensive weapon against satan. We must daily take authority over our will & conform it to God’s will. We must be willing to say, “My will is no longer my own”. Daily you must dedicate your will to doing the will of God

    Luke 11:2 (NKJV) 2So He said to them, “When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Jesus taught His disciples & indeed us, what we have termed ‘the Lord’s prayer’. He indicated the importance of the Will of God ...read more

    When the real Jesus is seen, he presents problems -- either he is too difficult for us to accept, or he is offensive to our sloppy ways of doing church, or we are just too tired of churchiness -- but his words of life revive our weariness.

    I notice that they’ve revived one of the old-time television shows. We can once again see, “To Tell the Truth”. The idea of “To Tell the Truth” is that three people come out, and they all stand and give a name – the same name. Then someone reads a few sentences about the person who actually has ...read more

    Confessing sin is more than just speaking words; it may involve a broken heart. The mature Christian and those living close to God, recognize that their sin is degrading and offensive to a Holy God. Deep sorrow will flow from the heart when sin is confe

    The Power And Wisdom Of The Cross - 1 Corinthians 1:18 Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,828 views

    The cross is central to the Christian faith. Yet, for many, it seems absurd, irrelevant, or offensive. Paul’s declaration in 1 Corinthians 1:18 divides humanity into two groups: those who see the cross as foolishness and those who recognise it as the power of God.

    The Power and Wisdom of the Cross - 1 Corinthians 1:18 Key Verse: “The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18, NLT) Introduction: Transformed by Truth The cross is central to the ...read more

    In basketball there’s a "triple threat" stance than can make an offensive player an effective threat to the opposing team. In the same way, Jesus models a "triple threat" for us that can make us effective for His kingdom. What is that triple threat, and h

     | 9,837 views

    Miracles happen every day but all too often Jesus is not credited with them. It is time we took the offensive in our battle of faith and openly use the name of Jesus with every opportunity. Do you believe that by Jesus name miracles can and do occur?

    Overcoming the enemy once does not mean he will stop his harassment of us. This is what he is, and what he does. So our posture toward him, both defensively and offensively, needs to become habitual and reflexive. We need to overcome our ignorance of the
