Why We Fight
We don’t think of our daily life as a battle, but it is. The Bible clearly teaches that there is a spiritual warfare for all of the souls of humanity. You can’t get much clearer than Ephesians 6:10-13: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. → Read more...

He launches a campaign of propaganda in order to get us to undermine ourselves and fall on our own swords or cut down our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. → Read more...
You Are Dangerous, Part I

It was there from the very beginning when Adam and Eve first laid eyes on the fruit that was sitting amid the leaves of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. I find it interesting that the Tree was right smack dab in the middle of the Garden of Eden (see Genesis 3:2) and that it was not until the serpent showed up that Eve began to even think about eating the fruit. → Read more...

“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.” – Exodus 20:7 When people ask me how I know that there’s a God or whether this Bible book thing is true, I tell them that I pay very close attention to the world around me. There are ordinary signs that one can easily miss if one is not looking for them. One of them, for me, is that there is a distinction that exists between the sacred and the profane. → Read more...
