According to the Scriptures Jesus died for our sins.  He was made a sin-offering for all of human-kind.  God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever belives in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  Jesus suffered, died, and rose again the third day for our justificaton.  The suffering of Jesus is foretold in the Old Testament.

Jesus is our Savior and our Healer.  Our three main enemies are the world (cosmos), the flesh, and the devil (adj).  Looking with a fixed gaze upon the world will take a terrible upon one's spiritual life.  The world offers distractions and amusement but it does not offer life.  Only by looking upon Jesus will be powerful enought to overcome the myriad challenges of the cosmos.

In the New Testament God demonstrated his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners (adjective) Jesus died for us.  God so loved the world that he gave his only begottten Son to die for our sins.  Jesus is the Savior out from heaven who came in the likeness of our humanity to give his life as a ransom for sin.

The resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of our faith.  Without the resurrection of Jesus we have no salvation.  We read in the book of Acts that Death (Thanatos) attempted to hold Him down but could not because He is Almighty God , and death has no power over Him.  Because He lives we shall also live.

Faith is a supernatural system of perception that is given to those who are saved.  Faith is not mere God-talk.  Faith is a system of perception that believes the Word of God by acting on His Word.  In the Old Testament there is no noun for faith.  Where the word faith is used in the Old testament is was imposed on the text.  Faith is what one does, not what one says.  However, in the New Testament we are given a powerful definition of faith that challenges us exchange tired empiricism for radical life-changing faith.

Those who reject the salvation that God has provided through Jesus will be judged for the crime of unbelief.  This crime will have many consequences and all of them are terrible.  People who reject Jesus will be send a strong delision by God so that they will believe the lie or the words of the Man of Sin.  Make sure that you know Jesus and are saved from this frightening time.

The Christ-rejecting world will be sent a strong delusion by God so that they will believe the lie of the Anti-Christ.  He will be received by the world as a great peace-maker.  He will deceive the world and be a world ruler.  He will insist on a one world worship system that centers on him.  The people of the world will receive the mark of the anti-christ or wild beast, and will be unable to buy or sell without his mark or number 666.

The post-modern church is in need of godly women.  We have had enough of the politics of autonomy.  God wants women who have the courage to be godly in a world where character is not wanted.  Just think of the women who are in the church today and the silent pain, hurt, and shame that many of them bear.  These suffering women need godly to come along side of them and encourage them in the Faith.

This age is in desperate need of men who love and know God.  C.S. Lewis would say that this is the age of "Men Without Chests."  Character is frowned upon and the ungodly walk uopn the face of the earth and within the bowels of the earth with arrogant perambulation.  God is no longer feared nor revered.  He has been cast out of the human equation.  However, with the absense of God there is the absense of meaning in life.  People value things above relationships and a person's worth is within the abundance of the things he has acquired.  Life in this world is hollow and empty without the presence of God.

The enemy knows our unique mentalities and our spiritual depth.  He knows our predispositions to certain conclusions about ourselves and others.  He has and does carefully observe our relationship with God.  He knows the reality of our prayer life or if it is merely a fiction.  The only way to be truly free from chronic discouragement is to trust God.  Our perceptions of events can do much harm if they poison our spiritual lives.  Discouragement starts with our thoughts that are independent of God, and we lean on our own understanding.
