Have you ever been walking through a marketplace or similar place where there are a lot of vendors vying for your attention and, especially, your business? “Come over here and look at this!” “Have I got a great deal for you!” “You have gotta have one of these!” Have you ever tried to get through there without stopping or getting sidetracked and tried to shoo vendors…

Our world is trying get you to see things and think things that Jesus Christ would NEVER have you to see or think. Who are you going to follow? Whose approval are you going to seek? Satan’s greatest attacks against the church are often those attacks that come from within. If the devil can get us turning on each other, then he’s won the battle. Thus,…
“Nobody’s perfect!” You’ve heard it. You’ve thought it. You’ve probably said it. Unfortunately, we seem to often find ourselves on the receiving end of the imperfection. Sometimes the mistakes are not that big of a deal—putting pickles on a plain burger or calling you by the wrong name. Other times the mistakes are a really big deal—running a red light into oncoming…

We do it from a young age—“I’m almost as tall as mom.” And we keep on doing it throughout life—“We don’t have as much money as them…We are doing better in our marriage than them…I’m going to church more often than him…” The list goes on and on. Is this a…
If someone doesn’t believe the Bible and doesn’t want to hear what you might have to say about it, that’s ok. That’s on them. But wouldn’t a simple “No thank you” from them suffice? I don’t understand the vitriolic aggression that some are taking against Christians and Bible truth today. I would think that they would just walk away and leave us alone. Look at what…
