How To Fight the Devil!

BlogFebruary 25, 2020417Views 0Likes 0Comments

The Fallen Angels stumble from their lofty place and become enemies of the Goodness of God. Our own spiritual falls follow a similar pattern and learning how to avoid that pattern is key to fighting against the stumbles that make us partners with the devil and his demons. And, I don't know about you, but…

Do You Know How to Stay Faithful?

Our busy lives really do challenge us in keeping our priorities in the right order, don't they? We moderns are a complicated mishmash of schedules, opportunities, affluence, and "freedom." And that multiplication of events, desires, hopes, and advertisements don't seem to be slowing down. It seems that each new day brings a new barrage of…

The Truth About Jesus

Who is Jesus Christ? There are so many answers to that question, and I guess the human race has been preoccupied with this question since the Lord came in the first place. But, we learn today that how we answer this question is a great deal more important than we may realize! Look at our…

In his book "Mere Christianity" C.S. Lewis issued his famous "trilemma." Lewis was concerned that some in his day, gripped by the fad of "demythologizing" the Bible, wanted to call Jesus a "good teacher" but certainly not God in the Flesh. (Parenthetically, I'd love to read an historical account of the influence of Islamic theology…

He Calls You Beloved

I love the word “Beloved.” It’s the kind of word that bears an “antique” feel of sophistication and dignity, as well as expressing a sense of connection and intimacy that keeps it from being “stuffy” or “arrogant.” To be considered “beloved” by someone else is the heart’s cry of most humans! I want to be…

Without Sin!

“You sinner!” The preacher thundered from the pulpit in our small Pentecostal church, and, as a 10-year-old boy, he had me convinced. Yep, I was a sinner and I needed to be saved. So, that’s what I did. In fact, every time there was a chance to be “saved” I took it! (I still do!)…

The Discipline of Generosity

What is it about giving money to the church that always seems to rile up folks? Do people think the parish runs on good intentions? Why is this topic one of the top subjects in the scriptures and one of the most controversial topics even today? To be honest, it has little to do with actual…

The Generosity of Love

We hear it all the time. "You Christians should be more concerned about the poor." And, to be sure, no one who reads the Bible in any serious way can deny that God looks with certain love on the poor and weak. In fact, the scripture is clear that how we treat the poor is…

You’re Only Fooling Yourself!

I’m my own worst enemy. The reason for this is that my ability to either delude myself or to overreact is so “normal” to me that it is really hard to be objective about my struggles by myself. I’m either too hard on myself or too easy on myself! Learning this opened my eyes to…

When I was a boy, I remember seeing the Wizard of OZ for the first time on a color TV set. Needless to say, I was absolutely mesmerized by the wonder of the change from black and white to color, but I also remember being very much sympathetic to the Cowardly Lion when the group of seekers of help first encountered…
