    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 17, 2024
     | 2,100 views

    One of the most important things we need to learn and teach others is how to guard, strengthen, and renew our minds, because the battle for sin always starts in the mind.

    Opening illustration: A violent battle is raging around us twenty-four hours per day. In 1965, Donald Grey Barnhouse wrote a book about it called The Invisible War. It is the battle for your mind, and that battle is vicious. It is intense. It is unrelenting, and it is unfair because Satan never ...read more

    The Destructive Nature Of Man’s Human Spirit

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Apr 14, 2025
     | 447 views

    The Old and New Covenants meet with God in different ways. But few have asked whether these differences create spiritual powers that work against the Christian life. This maybe why Paul struggled with a Church in transition.

Within that journey we record what our eyes perceive as beauty, what our hearts cherish as food for the soul and what our spirit learns of eternity. Hence every endeavor in life relies upon body, ...read more
