A Thankful Spirit Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

A thankful spirit encourages others to see the positive in their own lives, and so being thankful is a ministry in a world where the bad news is thrown at us so often we tend to forget the good news. We need people with a thankful spirit to remind us that light is as real as the dark

The more I study the history of man and the sea, the more grateful I become that I am a landlubber. Tens of thousands of lives have been lost in ship wrecks in my lifetime. But some sailors have much to be thankful for in spite of ship wrecks. John O'Brian, for example, was off the coast of ...read more

The Indwelling Spirit Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Paul says, "If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, He does not belong to Christ." We must possess the Spirit to be possessed by Christ. He must be ours if we are His. Mutual possessing and mutual indwelling is what salvation is all about.

Indwelling has a variety of meanings. It can mean that matter indwells matter as a kernel or fruit within a shell. A yoke indwells the white and both dwell within the shell. It can refer to a situation where one substance is intermixed with another, as with salt and water, or medicine within your ...read more

Walk In The Spirit Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 9, 2023

We know that it is not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord, but we set out on our walk with the Lord by sight and might. We need Romans 8 to keep us walking by faith. The right way to walk with God is by the Spirit of God.

We can put walking in the Spirit of God in a Shakespearian way. To Be (spiritually alive) Or Not to be (spiritually alive) That is the question. And what better way to propose an answer to that question with the chapter from Romans that tells us about the Spirit filled life. Romans Chapter 8 ...read more

Flesh And Spirit

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 25, 2023

How do the flesh and the Spirit war against one another within each of us? How do we deal with an imperfect church and a perfect Savior?

Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he ...read more
