I’ve been thinking about what the devil is most threatened by. I don’t think it’s Sunday mornings. I don’t think it’s youth groups. I don’t think it’s VBS. I don’t think it’s prayer meetings. I don’t think it’s pastors or evangelists. I don’t think it’s praise and worship. I think the NUMBER ONE thing the… Continue reading Relationships

When he was skeptical, Philip’s reply was, “Come and see.” The Lesson: If you are seeking Christ, His response is… Continue reading Come And See
Be Encouraged
I was reading in John, Chapter 7 and verse 30 stuck out to me. “Then the leaders tried to arrest him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his time had not yet come.” And I thought to myself… Why couldn’t they get their hands on him? How could he have escaped if… Continue reading Be Encouraged
