The Battle with Temptation and Sin
We are in a war. Sin wants to have us, but we must master it (Gen 4:7). The following is an outline for how a Christian might engage the enemy in an all-out war with temptation and sin. Read Luke and study what the requirements are for becoming a disciple of Jesus and then be […]
He’ll Think I’m a Loser

God Is No Patcher

He is no patcher.” In the same way, the love of the Christian husband does not proceed from reading the “right books,” including this one, or going to the right seminars.
