Who can win this battle against the world, and against the devil? The hard truth is that it’s only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God who can overcome. So, set yourself to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Believe me, it is VERY advisable (once you are […]
Did you know? When you first came to Christ, you were actually “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision on you – the cutting away of your sinful nature. For you were buried with Christ when you were baptised, and with Him you were raised to new life because you […]
It’s been a roller-coaster ride of faith for me since the Lord Jesus Christ chose me to come out from the world and follow His way. It’s worth noting that the ‘downs’ on that ride have always been my fault, for the Lord never changes in His manner (which is totally perfect), and He severely […]
