"The Subtle Sin Of Codependency"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Jul 31, 2008

We might assume that Eve wanted to know evil, however, was that her primary motive? It is my opinion that Eve wanted to become “God” so that she could be good, not necessarily so that she could be evil! And that is a subtle thought!

Our Church has begun a “Celebration Recovery” ...read more

God's Grace Is Not A License To Sin

Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 4, 2013

Just because we're saved by grace, that doesn't give us a license to sin. In this lesson we'll expound upon Paul's words in Romans 6:1, "Shall we continue to sin that grace may abound?"

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” Romans 6:1 On the surface it seems strange that anyone, especially Christians, would think that it would be okay to continue to sin so that God’s grace may abound toward us. Yet, it seems that was the ...read more
