The Winning Wind Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

With the word and the wind, that is the Holy Spirit within, the believer will always be a winner in the conflict with evil ideas.

Determining the superiority of either side in either conflict is difficult since the decisive factor in gaining a victory is often hidden. This was certainly the case when the Spanish Armada sailed against England. It was one of the greatest fleets ever assembled, and the Spanish ships dwarfed ...read more

Vital Signs

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 17, 2023

Apocalyptic signs are signs of evil, not of the end of the world; they point us to a person, not to a particular time.

You wouldn’t believe how many internet sites are devoted to Biblical prophecy about the end times. Or maybe you would. Some of them focus on natural disasters, some identify various world leaders as the Antichrist, others see events in Israel and the Middle East as key. One site highlights UFO’s, ...read more

When God Gives Up On Human Sinfulness Series

Three times in this passage it is stated that God gave up evil humanity to its own devices. A serious warning to our generation.

"The Subtle Sin Of Codependency"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Jul 31, 2008

We might assume that Eve wanted to know evil, however, was that her primary motive? It is my opinion that Eve wanted to become “God” so that she could be good, not necessarily so that she could be evil! And that is a subtle thought!

My personal definition of co-dependency for your consideration: When a person focuses on someone besides God, in an attempt to become the god of a person who is in distress, until the person they are trying to help, ultimately becomes their god. Our Church has begun a “Celebration Recovery” ...read more
