     | 2,553 views

    He didn’t place an angel inside of you. He placed God inside of you. He didn’t place a saint inside of you. You don’t have the spirit of your godly grandmother in you. You have the Spirit of God in you!

Of all three members of the Trinity, the Spirit is only One that His own adjective in His name. The Spirit is the Holy Spirit, and this is a reminder that He makes you holy. Did ...read more

    God through the Apostle Paul gives us an outline for breaking free from sin: 1) Remember who we are (dead to sin, alive in Christ), 2) Say no to temptation, and 3) Say yes to God. Dead people don't sin! With God's help, we can obey rather than sin.

    Breaking Free from Sin - Romans 6:1-13 “Dear God, you’re really going to be proud of me! I haven't gossiped, lusted, or lost my temper today. I haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent. I'm very happy about that! But in a few minutes, I'm going to get out of ...read more
