Some believers like to wear nice threads, but are oblivious to the most precious garments they already possess. The Bible speaks of ‘robes’ and ‘garments’ purchased for us by the blood of Jesus. In the spirit-realm, these garments are on full display and Satan knows it. Some believers aren’t confident their prayers will be answered […]

The Bible warns against philosophy but there’s a particularly nefarious philosophy which supersedes all others. ‘Hegelianism,’ or ‘The Hegelian Dialectic,’ stems from a German philosopher of the 19th century, named George Wilheim Friedrich Hegel. Karl Marx was a big fan of Hegel’s philosophy and it later became the launchpad for his Marxist manifesto. This deleterious […]

The Bible explicitly states that ‘God is love’ but few realize God’s love is both nurturing and corrective. The corrective side of God is often underplayed in our society which exploits love as a vehicle for all kinds of immoral behavior. Yet, true love (or charity in the King James Bible), sets moral boundaries, being […]
