    When the enemy comes in the Lord will lift up a standard.

Even when life seems to be so serene and the perfect ideal, quiet, calm, under control and you might even ...read more

     | 3,284 views

    Like worry, not all anxiety is sinful. Unfortunately, anxiety is often a result of sin. If that was the case, the cure is to deal with the sin.

    Introduction Last week, we learned about five types of anxiety, their symptoms, and how the Bible shows Jacob, Moses, Queen Esther, and Martha experienced anxiety. So, the Bible does talk about anxiety and how it steals peace and joy from our hearts. And more than that, it hinders us from being ...read more

    Paul shared the reality of his struggle with sin to prepare his readers for Romans 8, the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit in our lives. It will not be our ability or willpower that enables us to obey God.

    Paul affirms in the previous section that the Law is not useless. It is not sinful or bad. • No doubt the Law can only point out our weakness and makes us conscious of our sin; it is powerless to save us but it is not useless. • It shows us the will of God, the righteous standards of God for our ...read more
