    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 1, 2021
     | 5,001 views

It addresses the issue of Christians who are tempted to fall ...read more

    Spiritual Warfare: The Flesh Vs. The Spirit Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Feb 1, 2019
     | 6,836 views

    Galatians 5:16–18 introduces the passage by setting forth the nature of Spiritual Warfare between the flesh and the Spirit. In this we see 1) The Warfare Command (Galatians 5:16), 2) The Warfare Conflict (Galatians 5:17), and 3) The Warfare Caution (Galatians 5:18).

    One of the most tragic elements of warfare is the event of collateral damage. Often in military operations, civilians are caught in the crossfire. Whether it is in Palestine or Iraq, civilians often get hurt between two fighting forces. Sometimes, one side, usually the weaker one, deliberately puts ...read more
