    Pride is the first of the 7 deadly sins. It is insidious. It is also often recognized as being present alongside the other 6 sins. We’ll look at what makes this so dangerous.

Many preachers and theologians have noted that pride is perhaps the one deadly sin that connects all the other deadly sins together. It acts like the nervous system. It feeds the other sins.

    This is a study of chapter 7 in the book of Revelation. This is a controversial subject but takes a conservative approach to understanding the book.

    Note: I used many sources to study this book, one of my favorites is Revelation: God’s Word for the Biblically-Inept by Daymond Duck and some out of different study bibles.

    Being a disciple of Christ requires a conscious, committed effort. We will never be effective disciples with a casual, unconcerned approach. It is a lifestyle we are called to commit ourselves unto.

    The Commitment to Discipleship Luke 9: 23-26 Let me begin by asking, how many Christians do you know? That is a difficult question isn’t it? Now it seems that everyone you talk to concerning the Lord has had some type of experience. Well, yes I’m a Christian; I was baptized and joined ...read more

    Dying daily is surrendering control so Christ’s life may flow freely—trusting His Spirit, not our feelings, to guide every moment.

    1. When the Pilot Lets Go Faith is learning to fly with someone else’s hands on the controls. You can’t see everything. You can’t always feel what’s happening. And the day comes when the Spirit says, “You’ve got it,” and suddenly you realize He’s teaching you to trust—not to steer. The apostle ...read more
