He That Winneth Souls Is Wise

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021

One of the things the devil has been very successful at, is getting the church completely sidetracked from the mission God intended the church to do.

To see that this is the case, all you have to do is observe what people seem to want from the church. For example, some see the church as: • A drug center to reach an emotional high. They get depressed and they want to come to church for a “Fix” • A social club where they can socialize with ...read more

The Armor Of God 7 Of 8

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

The reason many of us like to study on the Armor of God is because Paul does not just tell us to run for the hills. He also tells us what we are to do once we get to the hills.

He tells us in this passage of scripture how we can DEFEND OURSELVES and how we can DEFEAT SATAN. One of the obvious problems it seems among Christians today is that they are not aware they are at war with Satan.
