     | 822 views

    Pornography is everywhere on TV, in the movies, and online. Adultery is now widely accepted. Sexual sinfulness is rampant. How can we resist sexual temptation and be victorious over sexual addiction? The answer...through the divine power of the Holy Spirit.

    The Bible says in 2 Samuel 11:1-5 CSB In the spring when kings march out to war, David sent Joab with his officers and all Israel. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah, but David remained in Jerusalem. One evening David got up from his bed and strolled around on the roof of the palace. ...read more

    Even with a strong knowledge of the Word and a close relationship with the Father, you and I are still susceptible to being tempted by and succumbing to the allures of the world and its lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life.

(1 John 2:13 NKJV) I write to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, ...read more

    Do I Bear The Marks?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 21, 2022
     | 1,110 views

    The world is loaded with temptations. We are faced every day with both inconspicuous social tensions and open propaganda. We are continually bombarded with worldly enticements. How much do the interests of this world truly have influence on us?

    Paul wrote this letter to the Christians in Galatia. Its purpose was to discredit the Judaizers, the individuals who instructed that the Gentile adherents should comply with the Jewish law to be saved, and to call all Christians to believe and have faith in Christ and the freedom that he brings. ...read more

    The demon uses the object pronoun “us,” which is non-binary.

    I saw a sweatshirt that said, “I Stopped Fighting My Inner Demons because I realized we’re On the Same Side.” Although most deviant behavior may be explained by natural causes, psychotics, for example, suffer from a loss of object reality while demons are separate spiritual beings. Psychology can ...read more

    No Condemnation

     | 12,955 views

    One of the greatest tools of the enemy to hinder the Saints of God is condemnation. This lie causes countless millions of God's people to sit on the sidelines. Truth is, God works in the midst of sin, imputes righteousness, & doesn't count temptation.

    NO CONDEMNATION Rom. 8:1-2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. An elephant was drinking out of a pond one day, when he spotted a turtle asleep on a log. Without warning, he strolled over, picked it up & threw it as far as he could with his trunk. 2. "What did you do that for?" asked a passing aardvark. ...read more

    We do what we don’t want, and vice versa...Why?

    I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Romans 7:14 - 25 (NRSV) [1] We are still grappling with some of life’s “why” questions.

    Christians must resist worldliness.

    Soon after a person becomes a Christian he discovers that being a Christian is not a bed of roses. Just because he is saved, does not mean he has left his struggles behind.
