No Ordinary Man

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Oct 19, 2012

Zero Sum/Plus Sum

Contributed by Samuel Fulkerson on Jun 6, 2013

Blessed Is The Man

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Jul 5, 2014

Dear Christian, how much grief befalls us because we fail to listen to the Word of God? Because we fail to RECOGNIZE the counsel of ungodly? Because we fail to AVOID areas and thoughts that lead us to sin? Because we think LIGHTLY of sin.

The idea: To start with walking in counsel that is ungodly leads to opening yourself up to outright sin, which in turn leads to feeling comfortable with it and where we eventually become numb to it and begin to laugh at ...read more
