    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 24, 2019
     | 15,178 views

    There are five methods or devices the devil employs to tempt, hinder, discourage or bring down the believer. He renames sin, attacks our strengths, uses people, pretends defeat, and uses procrastination. God wants us to use all the means of grace at our disposal.

    THE 5 DEVICES OF THE DEVIL 2 Cor. 2:11; Eph. 6:10-18 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: DIVORCE BECAUSE OF A 2-STORY HOUSE 1. Vicky asked for a divorce and appeared before the judge. The judge asked, "So tell me in your own words, Mrs. Franks, why are you seeking a divorce?" 2. "I'm ...read more

    Do I Bear The Marks?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 21, 2022
     | 1,312 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

    While the people of the world live without God every day, what would it be like for a Christian to live without God? Solomon gives us the answer from the book of Ecclesiastes.

    I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home. I can’t imagine what life would be like without God. But there was a man in history who chose to live his life without God. He was the wisest man who ever lived, yet he did the most foolish thing in the world. Solomon. What would life be like without ...read more

    A profound message that helped many! Sounds like an oxymoron doesn’t it? But it’s not. The wilderness is part of Gods plan. The Israelites wandered for 40 years in a wilderness to get to the promised land. They should have entered in 12-14 days.

    Seven Excuses That Could Keep You Out Of Heaven

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 21, 2025
     | 299 views

    Nothing is more powerful than a temptation that perfectly appeals to our fallen nature. Satan knows exactly how to appeal to our weak spots. Here are seven of his most cunning suggestions.

    Matthew 4 shows how Jesus faced temptation, called disciples and entered his ministry. This lesson focuses on the meaning of Jesus’ temptation for us.

    In Matthew 4 we see that Jesus is the master, the mentor, and the minister sent from God. Right after Jesus was baptized he was led into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil. This is a disturbing turn of events for anyone who thinks that becoming a Christian, being baptized into Christ, will ...read more
