    Why God’s Word Matters Series

    Contributed by Pat Damiani on Sep 13, 2011
     | 6,785 views

    Because God’s Word mattered to Jesus, it should matter to us and we should do everything we can to live according to the principles we find there.

    Over the years, I’ve found that one of the issues that Christ followers struggle with the most is how we are to apply the Old Testament in our lives. In fact, five years ago when I preached a series of messages based on questions submitted to me by all of you, that was the most common question that ...read more

    Is the Army of the Lord ready for battle? Do we even know that we are in a spiritual battle? The enemy is constantly attacking. Perhaps we're just wearing the uniform but are not really soldiers of the Lord. Let's get ready!!!
