The Minister Of Mayhem Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 5, 2021

Believers are aware of the adversary we face in this walk of faith. Since the fall of Adam, Satan has sought to hinder and defeat believers. He has power and influence, but like all of creation, Satan must submit to the sovereign power of God.

She had invited Ahasuerus and Haman to a small banquet that served as an invitation to a larger banquet the following day – ...read more

The Reason We Submit To Authority Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 15, 2021

Obedience that originates from this kind of fear of penalty is not true obedience. That is the reason why the apostle Paul exhorts us in Romans 13:5, that our obedience must stem from our conscience and not because we fear the consequences of disobedience.

The Reason We Submit to Authority In Romans 13:5 we read, “We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake.” (WNT) All of us are familiar with the principle that if we don’t obey rules and submit to those in authority, we will get punished, and ...read more
