Unrighteous Righteousness

Contributed by Cameron Bottema on Jun 2, 2012

There is only One God but exists in three persons! What is the Title we give to God the Father? We say Heavenly Father don’t we? What is the title we give to God the Spirit?

Motivation For Righteousness

Contributed by Mark Kang on Jan 12, 2006

If we are to have victory in righteousness, we must find proper motivation.

"See to it brothers that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God." Hebrews 3:12 Sin has the power to make us turn away from God.

The Breastplate Of Righteousness Series

The Breastplate Of Righteousness Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 19, 2014

We utilize what God has issued us for the conflict. We need protection. Which breastplate are we trusting? Our own, or Christ's righteousness? Don't go to war without the Breastplate of Righteousness.
