    Is there really evil in the world? Are we ready to resist evil?

There ...read more

    We live in a time when evil is sweeping our culture. Christians not anchored are being swept with it. We look at the Church’s duty to resist evil; what we’re to resist; and how we’re to resist it.

    IT’S TIME TO RESIST! 2 Cor. 10:5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Over the Christmas break I heard about some ladies who were shopping non-stop for several days. 2.

    How do we resist? I want to make what we talk about today make sense, but I also want it to be visual. We can resist the devil by building a wall in our lives that resists all of his advances towards us. We will build a wall to keep Satan out of our hearts and we will make Satan pay for it.

    Many Christians believe that in Matthew 5:39 Jesus is calling us to pacifism. If that was the case, he would be negating the Old Testament! Jesus does call us to nonresistance, but in certain situations only - as his examples show. He isn't pacifist and he doesn't call us to to pacifism.
