Strife Will Keep You Carnal
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? (1 Cor. 3:3) It's bad enough that strife opens the door of our lives to confusion and every evil work (James 3:14-16). That alone should...

Oppose the Devil
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). If you've been crying and asking God to run the devil out of your life, stop! The Bible says you're the one who's supposed to overcome the devil. How? By resisting him....
Availability Not Ability
In Acts 2:42, we have a revealing glimpse of the emerging Church and the priorities of its people: “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers” (NKJV). We see here that fellowship requires...
What is ‘Great Faith’?
"Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour" (Matt. 15:28). Jesus said the Syrophenician woman had great faith. If she had faith under the old covenant,...
