And we learned that every believer has at least one spiritual gift. These are God given abilities distributed among ...read more

    Is there something in your life that if it was taken away your life could not go on? Is there something you just can't stop doing? You may be addicted. In fact, even many Christians are addicted to something they are not even aware of - the flesh. How to

    What's your addiction? I know that's a pretty strong statement but I want us to think about that. Put another way, what controls you? What can you not do without?

    Masturbation, The Spiritual Battle Against The Flesh

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on May 24, 2024
     | 3,274 views

    Some say that the Bible does not mention masturbation or self-gratification or “solo sex,” as it’s sometimes called. They say that it is silent on the subject and that the Bible does not state whether or not masturbation is a sin.

    I was asked about masturbation and what I thought of it. He then offered up, “Why is masturbation classed as a sin?” “I’m on Christian sites where people are saying that it’s all wrong and that you shouldn’t being stuff like that but surely God wants us to love either with a partner or ourself.” ...read more

    Are we living by the Holy Spirit's power, or are we living by the control of the flesh?

    We all have sinful desires (flesh), but in order to follow the Holy Spirit, we must deal with these issues. We cannot ignore them. The spontaneous works of the Holy Spirit is fruit. We cannot get them unless we allow Christ to work in us through the Holy Spirit. In verses 16-18: Paul depicts the ...read more
