What blessings should Christians desire the most? Money, health, influence? Certainly not! As evangelist Clint Defrance teaches in this sermon, Christians are to set their affection on heavenly ‘blessings’.

The modern religious world has all but dismissed the idea that the ‘modern dance’ is sinful and inappropriate for Christians. Liberals teach that modest clothing is an ‘outward’ sign (not true ‘inner’ spirituality), so dancing with the opposite gender is inconsequential and indeed appropriate for the servant of Christ.
As preachers of previous generations have [...]

What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. As it is written:

We live in a world that is refusing to retain God in its rush to worldly wisdom. This, of course, is not novel but is as old a story as mankind itself.

The expression ‘know your enemy’ is attributed to the 6th century BC Chinese author Sun Tzu. This aphorism was intended for the carnal but applies even more readily to the spiritual realm.
