There can be no doubt that there is a demonic warfare being waged against families, especially Christian families. The devil has been very successful in separating husbands and wives, fostering rebellion and worldliness in many children, disintegrating family unity and time together, causing the home to no longer be a safe and protective sanctuary from the world but influe...

It's not a sin when we feel the initial impact of fear. Many things happen that can cause us to be afraid and be fearful a bad report, imminent loss, a problem with a loved one and so on. We all go through those things. But the problem comes in when we give place to the fear and let it take over affecting what we do. We react out of fear rather than stand in faith in the f...

If I promised you a check for a million dollars, how would you take that? Hopefully you wouldn't take me serious, have a good laugh and pray for me. But if I promised that the next time I see you that I would greet you warmly, hopefully you would believe that and anticipate our meeting. The difference between those two promises is that in the first promise, I have no resou...

There are many times in God's Word where we are to fight to fight the good fight of faith, to fight in spiritual warfare, enduring a great fight of afflictions. And that fight takes courage. But sometimes, it takes just as much courage not to fight! In the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, Jesus spoke that if someone slapped you on the right cheek turn the other to them as...

(Matthew 14:27) When I am in a storm or in a painful and difficult circumstance, I thank God for the prayers and support of others that helps so much when things are rough.
