Today on Trending Upward we begin a four part series on the laws of Paul as they are found in Romans seven. I trust this series will be of help to you as seek to trend upward.

On todays episode we are looking to a recent article from the director of the Hope Biblical Counseling Center, Dr. Terry Coomer. Bro. Coomer has been a staple to the Biblical Counseling community for many years and has a true desire to help people by taking the word of God and aiming for the heart. I pray this episode helps you as you seek to trend upward.

It is not our calling to rid the world of sin. That is the singular job of the Holy Spirit. However, reproving is an element of our Christian life and ministry that cannot be ignored. I trust today's podcast will be of help to you as you trend upward and help others trend upward.

Overcoming Adversity will be vital to your walk with God and trending upward. We will not trend upward if we slow down, and come to a stop at every difficult time in our life. Solomon said that God gave man travail to be exercised in. Which means what? Travail is God given to help strengthen his children who in the flesh are driven to weakness. Allow the Lord to make you strong by exercising through travail.

Grace and Mercy is an essential to our walk with God. Are you living in the presence of God? That should be our desire, but certain things cannot come into God's presence. Sin is one of those things. On today's podcast we are going to answer the question of, "How to Obtain Mercy?"

Make decisions at a young age that require faith as Moses did. The older you get the harder it will become to walk and live by faith in God.

Are you contentious? Often times we only label the one who starts contentions as contentious. However, the one who cannot walk away from contention is as much contentious as the one who starts it. You cannot trend upward in your walk with God if you are constantly involved in contention. Why?Well, in part it is because fighting requires much attention, and focus, which ultimately should belong to Christ. But, also because pride is the root of contention. God resist the proud! If you are proud, you are not reaching those heights with God that you could be and should be hitting. I pray that this podcast will help you as you trend upward.

Today we will answer the following question. Does Gods will contradict His Word? If you are going to trend upward, you must find Gods will for your life and fulfill it.

We find it odd to believe that the devil would offer heaven. But, he does. He just gives the directions to hell instead. On todays podcast we will seek to answer the question, "does the devil promise heaven?"
