If you’re experiencing spiritual attacks, here’s how you can keep Satan and his demons off your back. Do Nothing In the first place, Satan does not generally go after those in the church unless they are one of the more influential Christian pastors or teachers.

There is a protective and productive purpose in pain. Read what the Bible says about pain. Keeps us Alive Not all pain is bad. Pain in exercise can tell us it’s time to quit or time to keep going (for some). At other times, pain tells us somethings wrong.

What are some things that Jesus said would be happening just prior to His return?

Bible scholars believe that Adam and Eve may have been saved, but others argue they were not. Does the Bible give us any indication?

Beginning of Wisdom Human beings have seemed to always seek out more power, money, and influence, yet the most pressing need, and indeed, the most crucial need isn’t even sought, and that’s the wisdom of God.

James said that pure religion is visiting the orphans and widows in their affliction (James 1:27), so how can you begin a nursing home ministry in order to practice “pure religion?” Reasons for a Ministry Every ministry that Jesus commanded the church to do is laid down in Scripture; from the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20; Acts 1:8) to the admonition to care for the poor and to feed the flock. Jesus said His body will be visiting the sick, those... Read more
Why do some churches close while others flourish? Why do churches die or close their doors? Church Closings Churches close every single day in this country, and even though some have been around for over a century, like our church has, some end up closing their doors, or they simply fade out of existence due to irrelevance, population shifts, societal changes, corrupt church leadership, and sometimes it’s no one’s fault at all. Churches are like human beings. They are born,... Read more
