It’s at this place that many believers come to a screeching halt. They look at themselves ...read more

    Post Salvation Blues

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 21, 2023
     | 1,577 views

    The greatest feeling of our life was the day we accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior. That feeling doesn't last forever. We have to live in this sinful world. We all experience post salvation blues. The word of God can encourage us to overcome.

The cell door has been opened, but I was still living in a prison. There was no doubt in my mind that I had been pardoned and the door was open, so I was free to ...read more
