    Pseudo-Science Vs. Sanctification

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 23, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,644 views

    The Bible implores every Christian to “live by the Spirit” (Gal 5:16 NIV). This is no easy task and requires full submission to God of every minute detail of one’s life. Through the centuries church leaders have used numerous ways to motivate and encourage people to live and walk in the Spirit.

    Some of the most recent human-made ideas to help bring about “spiritual” living, and help Christians better understand themselves - as well as others - to live in unity and purpose together, is the use of personality tests and gift assessments. Psychological job placement and career tests are used ...read more

     | 1,996 views

    Paul told the Athenians that God is not limited in power or His will and plans nor distant from His creation. This went against everything the Greeks had believed about the gods and goddesses they worshipped but with whom they had no relationship.

    In his message to the Athenian elders concerning the true and living God, Paul shows us the characteristics of spiritual leadership in his application of responsibility and accountability for what is not just a teaching on God but a strategic plan in the invisible war between Almighty God and ...read more
