Satan; February 16, 2020

Overcoming Evil; February 6, 2020
Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. The whole passage from verse nine on reads like a collection of pithy aphorisms, like we find in Proverbs. It really makes me think of the messages … Continue reading

Salvation by Faith; January 2, 2020
Luke 7:50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” This is a very important little incident in Jesus’ ministry that often gets overlooked. Just as Jesus told the woman who touched the hem of … Continue reading

God’s Standard; December 16, 2019
