Know Your Enemy!
Thomas
In life here on earth, success is often the result of knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your opponent; in sports, in business, etc. As a result, the mental struggle we go through is wearing and puts us in a constant state of stress.

3 In 1
Thomas
When the Israelites went to war with Amalek (Ex 17), the Word gives us a picture of Moses on top of the hill praying over the battle.

The Spirit Knows!
Thomas
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows! Well, at the very real danger of dating myself, I must admit that I am a child of BT (before television). And, sadly, the generations that have followed have missed out on something very special… when it was all about radio. In the… Read more

Stone-Cold Dead!
One of the greatest struggles we have as the bride of Christ is in dealing with sin in our life. Sometimes we get so bogged down with those recurring sins that we never seem to put behind us that become so weary that we just give up… we take up the attitude that “well that’s… Read more
