    I don’t think we serve a second rate God that is happy with our leftovers. If really believe that there is none like God, then there should be nothing like the commitments and sacrifices we are willing to make to please Him.

    When we think of spiritual warfare, frequently we see people casting out demons, covering everything from depression to toothache to the stubbed toe. The fact is not everything is a demon, and here we learn of the different enemies.

    What’s the big deal with marrying unbelievers? Well, don’t be too quick in thinking it is not a big deal! The Bible addresses the idea of separation of believers all the way through. Genesis 6 seems to introduce the topic.

Perhaps these big guys were even worshiped as gods (I think we have established that they weren’t aliens earlier on). I suggested ...read more
