The Battle Of Depression

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 4, 2022

All of us at some point have dealt with depression. How do we overcome it? How do we defeat it? Today, we'll look at Asaph's account battling depression and trouble in Psalms 77. And more importantly, how to overcome.

Introduction When you review the great names and personalities of the Scriptures, you become aware very quickly that almost all of them knew, at one time or another, great discouragement and deep depression. Job is singled out as a man of God. Blameless and upright, whose staggering losses and ...read more

When God Doesn't Make Sense

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Nov 19, 2022

Most of us don't want to admit it, but more often than not God's instructions don't make sense. That's because God is not a sense God, he is a faith God. The question is... What do you do when God doesn't make sense?

Pray

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 6, 2024

The great thing is that as Christians, we don't have to wait until there is proclamation, or wait for a certain day in order to pray. The call to pray is stated clearly in scripture. One place especially clear is found in II Chronicles 7:14.

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.

Christians Dead To The Law

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

This chapter seems to be in the wrong place.

WHY? In chapter 6 Paul told us clearly that Christians do not continue in sin, because when Christ died to sin, so did we. We are no longer "in Adam." Our victory over sin is established through the death of Christ Jesus. Now you would think that after this tremendous victory we have ...read more
