    We can use the example of Jesus in His temptation in the wilderness as our methods of overcoming temptation.

    Many battles are won in our minds! Temptations are first overcome in our minds because that is where the battle is and that is where the victory also is. Hiding God’s Word in our hearts is a great weapon to fight temptations.

    Christian Toolbox Basics

    Contributed by Jim Twamley on Apr 2, 2003

     | 13,106 views

    I like to think that every Christian is born again with a spiritual toolbox. In your Christian toolbox are some basic tools. We all need to become experts in using these tools if we want to become mature Christians.

    CHRISTIAN TOOLBOX BASICS Let me see the hands of everyone who has a toolbox. (interview people “What do you have in your toolbox?” - (next person) “Do you have anything different in your toolbox?” “Why do you have a toolbox?” “What would your life be like without your tools?”) I like to ...read more

     | 10,412 views

    When God says, "Enough!" how shall His people respond? The response of God's people to the sinful drift of our nation should lead us to grieve for our fellow man and plead with them to turn to Christ and His righteousness.

    “Righteous are you, O LORD, when I complain to you; yet I would plead my case before you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all who are treacherous thrive? You plant them, and they take root; they grow and produce fruit; you are near in their mouth and far from their heart. ...read more

    The Faith That God Favors

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Aug 31, 2004
    based on 64 ratings
     | 18,344 views

    Biblical faith always has God as it’s objective and focus. Therefore the type of faith that God favors is a faith that trusts God for the impossible, then persists in that godly trust until the provision is realized.

    THE FAITH THAT GOD FAVORS Text: Matt.9: 29; Matt.15: 28 Intro: What kind of faith does God favor? The obvious answer to that question is, “Real faith.” However, faith is as much a matter of cultivation as it is choice. Though faith begins with one’s choice to trust God, it is developed ...read more

    A message in the series answering quetions on a variety of spiritual topics.

    Perhaps the most destructive philosophy to ever be unleashed in our culture is that of human self-sufficiency.
