From the Show

We can’t minimize spiritual attacks. We are called every day to put on the armor of God. But in doing so, we must remember that Satan has already been definitely conquered through Jesus Christ. Jesus came to bind Satan and plunder his kingdom as people are transformed from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light.

Help! Saved but Still Sinning

Help! Saved but Still Sinning

Sanctification isn’t effortless. The act of dying to sin implies spiritual battle and life-long war against sin. Living unto righteousness implies costly, intensive labor that daily says “no” to sin and “yes” to Christlikeness. So what do we do when we fail yet again? How can we overcome feelings of failure, defeat, and self-loathing when we sin?
